>yes, I've seen people trying to use rg58 and rg59 (CB and cable TV >coax) for 802.11, oh the horrors....
Yeap, soldered rg58/59, bad news. Do note the requested was wanting to use thinnet patch cables On the other hand, sat rated RG-6 has a loss of about 10db per 100feet at 2300mhz (rated to 3ghz), so for a 1-2 meter jumper, I'd not lose alot of sleep over it. (and do note, that is all that was being requested.... coax for a 1-2 meter jumper). The impedance bump may or may not be a issue, but if your home brewing, this would be the absolute cheapest way for jumpers. Plus I suspect you'll get some more gain with the connectors, since they are so easy to put on... as opposed to a N connector which most will muck up. Of course, the best way of all is to remote your equipment. -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
