RG58	0.195	0.15	0.42	90 WATTS	1 GHz	Very low cost, decent performance, hams love it
RG142	0.195	0.13	0.39	500 WATTS	6 GHz
RG174	0.11	0.34	0.9	20 WATTS	3 GHz
RG178	0.08	0.45	NR	65 WATTS	3 GHz
RG214	0.425	0.07	0.3	175 WATTS	11 GHz	20 years ago was lowest loss RF cable available
RG223	0.212	0.145	0.37	90 WATTS	12.4 GHz
RG316	0.098	0.29	0.69	170 WATTS	3 GHz	recommended for hooking up short runs to 1 ghz flexible
RG393	0.390	0.07	0.20	1275 WATTS	6 GHz
LMR200	0.200	0.105	0.27	170 WATTS	6 GHz
LMR240	0.240	0.08	0.22	240 WATTS	6 GHz	The most popular cable we sell for 1-4 ghz is LMR240
LMR400	0.400	0.04	0.11	500 WATTS	6 GHz	We believe LMR is the best choice for .8-4 ghz
LMR600	0.590	0.027	0.075	900 WATTS	6 GHz
HF086	0.104	0.23	0.6		18 GHz	Use for 6-18 ghz applications
HF141	0.163	0.13	0.35		18 GHz	Use for 6-18 ghz applications

"DS" or double shielding adds about 20 db of shielding, from 40 to 60db at 1ghz typically; LMR is 90db typ. A very useful loss calculator was created by Ham Radio operator VK1OD; see CableLossCalculator. Thinner cables are more flexible; larger diameter cables have lower loss & can handle more power. MaxPower depends upon frequency; example, LMR400 is 900 watts @ 1ghz, & 300watts @ 6ghz.

Our smp cable selection also includes mini smp cables. Our low frequency cables are offered with RG316, RG174, LMR200/240/400. RG214 is an older military cable rated to 11ghz with 2 silver braids; the newer LMR400 series can often be used in its place as it usually has lower loss & cost.

We have many categories of coaxial cable assemblies in stock; low cost versions with brass connectors, test grade cables with stainless steel connectors and extra connector protection, etc. While SMA cable assemblies & Type N cable assemblies are our most popular products, 1.85mm cables assemblies, smb cable assemblies, semi rigid cable, smb to bnc cables assemblies, etc etc fill out our portfolio.
