[QUOTE="ludo, post: 61491, member: 691"] Figured I might as well post a pic of the problem. This is the one from Communica. The insulation over the core is not solid. Curious flower-shaped extrusion to get more air in there. Could have some benefit at very high freq. Core is solid on this one. Cable works fine until you start moving it about a lot. Then the strands for the shield start to break off. Even with a BNC with a boot it's fit and forget stuff. Horrible. Also one has to get a BNC with the correct centre pin for this. The solid core is thicker than on older RG59. I have seen the Belden with a stranded core, and was told it's the same shape as RG59 so uses the same BNCs, but intended for SDI, so likely a higher BW cable. Broadcast Lines in Randburg would have some Sommer cable for SDI that might be nice too. SC Vector Plus 1,2/5,0 has only 52pF/m so could be good for passive preamps and such. But it's such a bright green that your wife might notice :D [/QUOTE]
