Identifying coax cable.
Have a 100 foot roll(approx) of used coax cable which has no markings....
I do have a bunch of older RG-58 with solid center conductor, and ....[snip].... .... How about Belden 9913? Of course, the construction of that line is "different" enough that it would be hard to mistake it for something else, and I assume .... For those of us who never noticed -- or never recognized -- the difference in the first place, could you please explain what I should have recognized? --Myron -- --Myron A. Calhoun.

Are you saying 9913 has been made in ALL of those different sizes and with ALL of those different center- conductor gauges? -- --Myron A. Calhoun.

The base 9913 is #10 solid. 9913 Flex is stranded. Tam -- --Myron A. Calhoun.

....... but rather with the form the dielectric takes. It's a polyethylene tube with fairly thin wall that supports the outer conductor, and inside that, a "thread" of polyethylene with a diameter half the difference between the inner conductor diameter and the ID of the polyethylene tube, which is formed in a spiral to support the inner conductor coaxially with the outer conductor. That sounds like RG-62 (93 ohm). Video terminal cable -- 3270 and that ilk. But, since none of the mind readers in this ng have yet to post the dimensions, it's only a data point so far.

Are you saying 9913 has been made in ALL of those different sizes and with ALL of those different center- conductor gauges? Just go to Radio Shack. You can exchange blank stares with the clerk. SC Looks like I may have to as it doesn't seem to have an easy solution and my VHF transmitter is broken. Have a data sheet handy so might take some measurements with the vernier calipers and see what I come up with. Thanks for all the suggestions. Boozo.(nothing to do with alcohol !) the original 9913 has a 9.5ga solid copper center conductor, the center conductor has a spiral wrapped standoff insulator, a thin solid dielectric layer then foil and braid shield. the od is .405" so it can't be easily distinguished from regular rg8 without looking inside. though if it is the original good stuff i would expect it to be well marked on the outside since not just everyone made it. the problem is that there have been many variations over the years on 9913, including stranded center conductors and some variations in dielectrics. |
