VIDEO CABLE
The visual image is the core of any home theater or video system. Modern high-resolution and High Definition
video formats now demand an even greater degree of quality and bandwidth from the cable interconnect sys-
tem. To bring a higher level of performance to residential video applications, Sheer Wire video cables are made
using the same techniques and materials used in professional, studio-grade video coax. Every Sheer Wire video
cable is built to exacting electrical and mechanical specifications then comprehensively tested and verified. As
a result, the video image is transmitted with minimal loss or errors delivering exceptionally true and clear
images. Through precision, Sheer Wire video cables deliver your clearest vision.

High Definition Bandwidth
All Sheer Wire video cables are certified to 3, 2.4, or 1GHz to ensure clear and accurate
transmission of High Definition digital or high-resolution analog video signals.
Low-loss, Gas-injected Dielectric
Sheer Wire proprietary nitrogen-injected dielectric lowers the attenuation, provides preci-
sion mechanical specifications, and is exceptionally crush resistant.
Precision Characteristic Impedance
Every Sheer Wire coaxial cable is produced to an exacting impedance to virtually elimi-
nate cable-induced reflections, jitter, and bit-errors in the video signal.
Certified Specifications and 100% Swept Test
Each reel is comprehensively tested to verify all critical electrical and mechanical specifi-
cations and ensure consistent performance.
Time Saving Features
Features such as easy-to-strip jackets, footage markers, and flexible packaging allow for
quick and simplified installation.
