It's not actually a wire, it's a pipe. And the size of the pipe is bigger than the wavelength.

This allows the signal to bounce around inside the cable. Basically creating multipath right in the wire.

At least that's my understanding of it.

Bob (or anyone),
   Can you explain why 7/8 heliax isn't appropriate for 5Ghz?
   Thanks for the posts.

OK.....Lets talk cable....

1. You can't use 1 1/4 or 1 5/8 heliax at 5 Ghz anything. Can't use 7/8 heliax there either. You can....but it won't work right....

2. You can use 5/8 heliax at 5.8 Ghz and below.
