Solid dielectric cable and connectors of 3.5 mm size
are mode limited to 18 GHz. That is why there is
so much stuff rated at 18 GHz as opposed to 16 or
20 GHz. The next jump up is 26.5 GHz where 3.5
mm size works in air dielectric. It costs more
to make these components and the volume is lower,
hence the higher price. Also, the low price
vendors may just stop at 18 GHz.

Lot's of connectors change specification @ 18Ghz or are not rated bast

there's a BIG jump in cost when you cross that 18GHz boundary line.
What's magic about 18 GHz? Why not 16 or 20?
