Just make sure you get the "thick" version. The "thin" Ethernet is RG- 58 and not nearly as good, especially on long runs. (Short runs of just a few feet or so are probably okay.) RG-58 is still widely used in UHF and VHF commercial communications for runs in Vehicles. Typically these are anywhere from 4' to 12' depending on the vehicle. -- Donovan Hill |

Got lots of that too. Pro: no vampire taps, Con: lossier, same as RG58 pretty much. Some people even say that a few vampire tap holes in thicknet used indoors doesnt much matter for HF, but I only selected vampire tap free thicknet when I was dumpster diving.... |
