Re: Double shielding, usually it's not important at all. However, there are applications where single shielded cables hardly work, unless the shielding is solid, like hardline. One such application i
I'm sure I'll take some heat on this, but oh well. First, I would consider LMR-400 to have a dual shield, not to be double shielded. It has a foil shield which likely provides 100% shield covered wi
I'll take a stab at this question. Certain to be corrected if in error. <grin> Two reasons come to mind. 1. Since RF travels on the inside of the shield, there is less chance for some to leak out; i.
