[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1148994, member: 176704"] One of the general issues with "RG" series cables are that the definitions are sketchy and don't actually seem to guarrantee what you will actually get when you buy them,[I] or who made them[/I], and the info printed on the sheaths is also often very sketchy (and doesn't include the manufacturer's name, so you wouldn't then even know who is claiming compliance with the relevant RG spec!). That's why buying branded cables from known and reliable sources against their own published specs is the best way to actually get what you expect. PS: generic cable descriptions like "satellite cable" have the same issues! PPS: having spent most of my working life in industries where the need for specifications and evidence of compliance therewith was often critical from a safety and regulations perspective, I am very sceptical about claims of compliance with specifications, and the claimants thereof, until I can be sure that I've received [I]solid and reliable[/I] evidence that fully supports those claims. OTOH, many times it was often rapidly clear to me that the claimed/presented "evidence" simply "was not worth the paper it was written on" ! [/QUOTE]
