Identify coax
What do you call the small rigid coax similar in size to RG402 but
very rigid. I feel like an idiot after working with this stuff for 20 years and have only refered to it as minature hardline. Jimmie |

Jimmie If it has a solid, usually plain or tinned copper, shield, it's known as semi-rigid coax. There are no RG numbers associated with it that I know of -- it's simply specified by impedance and outside diameter - 0.085, 0.141, 0.250 inches and smaller are common. Insulation is usually, but not always, solid PTFE Teflon. Various manufacturers offer a number of variations, such as aluminum shield and FEP or foamed dielectric. Each manufacturer has its own part numbering scheme. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |

UT-141 is often also labelled RG-402, and UT-085 is often also labelled RG- 405. Some manufacturers seem to think that there is some level of equivalence. I added RG-402 and RG-405 to my line loss calculator to cover the apparently equivalent Uniform Tubes types (ie UT-nnn). Owen |
