They are network cables, designed to keep enough of the signal inside to get it to the next computer, used a lot before the twisted pair cables became popular. Maybe good enough for patch cords at low power ranges. Can be used but definitely not as good as cables made for high power and good shielding. If you want the best, that's not it. I probably have a fair number of cables of that sort that have worked more or less ok for me at QRP power levels. 73 - Mike WA8BXN -------Original Message------- From: David Christ Date: 4/8/2012 6:06:46 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] BNC to BNC 50 ohm cable source Help me out here experts. These are described as having 48% aluminum Braid shield. I normally expect to see 95-97% copper. Is this an Issue or not?
