Subject: [TowerTalk] Coax identity HELP
Dear TowerTalkians,
I have just come across several hunderd feet of some 1/2 inch coax that
I
can not identify. Your help is needed.
The outside jacket is a single layer of black plastic(?) that snugly
fits
into a PL259 connector. The brand marked on the jacket is "Comscope".
The only other markings is an old-stlye telephone handset near the brand
name. These markings appear every foot. The braid shield is apparently
aluminum with about 50-75% coverage over an aluminum foil shield. There
is a "sticky" material similar to the glue in a glue-stick all over the
braid and outside surface of the foil shield. I assume that this is the
substance to prevent moisture from getting inside. The center
dielectric
is a white dense foam material. The center conductor is apparently a 14
gauge copper coated stiff alloy. The connectors are some type of F
connector, with the marking AUGAT LPC*SNS11.
I am assuming that this is 75 ohm cable; however, I am most interested
in
the loss characteristics for possible use in moving my satellite TV dish
away from my ham antennas. On the other hand, if it is good for 100-150
watts HF RF power, I may use some for ham antennas also.
