RG142 is one of the most popular RG cables.
This cable presents a good compromise
between flexibility and electrical performances.
RG142 will be selected among other 5/50 RG's
for applications requiring high frequency range
and low attenuation.
Usable in severe thermal conditions.
RG58 is one of the most popular RG cables.
Due to its construction and raw materials
construction, RG58 / KX15 is far to be as
performant as the equivalent 5/50 cables
( RG142, RG223, ECO142 )
However, this very flexible cable must be
considered for applications requiring low
electrical performance and reduced cost.
