Coaxial Cable Selection by Application

Key Takeaways 3 dB/m threshold: When cable loss exceeds 3 dB/m at the operating frequency, switch to a lower-loss type — no downstream amplifier recovers the noise figure lost in the feed cable. 50 Ω vs 75 Ω is non-negotiable:…

How to Spec a Wire Harness for Manufacturing

A harness specification that omits conductor de-rating, connector retention force, or shield termination method produces assemblies that pass inspection but fail in the field. This guide translates electrical requirements into unambiguous manufacturing drawings — covering conductor sizing, bundle de-rating, insulation…
