Coaxial Cables And Connectors: The Basics
By Richard H. Pouliot, RF Depot.com
Coaxial cables are a lot like a fuel tank without a fuel gauge. Not much appears wrong until something goes wrong. Also, escaping RF energy makes no noise, no sound, and leaves no puddles. In the absence of easy reliable verification and replacement, or repair, a reliable cable becomes important to continued system performance.
