Hi Carsten, The loss of copper clad steel (CCS) center conductor RG-6 is somewhat higher than solid copper (SC) center conductor RG-6 on 1.8 and 3.5 MHz because the copper cladding is thinner than RF skin depth at those frequencies. The excess loss of CCS RG-6 is approximately 0.25 dB per 100 feet at 1.8 MHz.
CCS RG-6 may be a problem for powering some remote devices such as preamps or relays through the cable because CCS RG-6 has significantly more DC resistance than SC RG-6. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carsten Esch" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 2:25:41 PM Subject: Re: Topband: RG-6 coax Hi Roger, CommScope F6TSV Coaxial Cable is available with the inner conductor in pure copper or copper clad steel. I only used 'the copper clad version' in the past, would there be an avantage to use the 'pure copper version'? 73ss Carsten, DL6LAU Am 08.04.13 19:09, schrieb Roger D Johnson: > Does anyone make an RG-6 type cable with a solid Cu center conductor, > flooded and Polyethylene jacket? > > 73, Roger > All good topband ops know fine whiskey is a daylight beverage. _________________ Topband Reflector All good topband ops know fine whiskey is a daylight beverage. _________________ Topband Reflector
