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 precision mechanical specifications, and is exceptionally crush resistant.
Precision Characteristic Impedance
Every Sheer Wire coaxial cable is produced to an exacting impedance to virtually eliminate 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 specifications 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.

LIGHTING CABLE
Architectural lighting has evolved into an equally critical and complex integrated system within modern residential and commercial spaces. Lighting system cabling no longer consists of simple building wire. Instead, each
system has its own unique requirements for power and signal distribution between the supplies and control panels. To provide individual system solutions, Sheer Wire lighting cables are produced in a variety of control,
power, and hybrid designs to meet the unique requirements of each system type. By combining these application-specific designs with time saving features and premium materials, Sheer Wire lighting cables reliably control and simplify the wiring of complex lighting systems.
