Subject: [Repeater-Builder] RG designations

Anyone want to take a stab at this, or point me to a good primer on this topic?

The datasheet for Belden 88240 gives it an RG58A/U designation even though it 
OD is .159". Most RG-58s are .195".  I have always thought that even though the 
materials may differ at least the cable sizes and connector compatability were 
consistent within an RG type...amongst reputable manufacturers, anyway. Such 
appears not to be the case. 

What's the scoop?

The real meaning of RG went out years ago.  Now it is only RG type and that can 
mean almost anything.
Usually the diameter will be close enough the coax fittings will work.  That is 
about all the RG is good for now.
