Re: Equipment Interconnect cables
The problem with RG-142 is that the solid center conductor is easy to displace when the coax is bent, especially sharp bends, and particularly short lengths such as less than several feet. It's best

Re: Equipment Interconnect cables
Holy crap those jumper are over $100 each. Too rich for me. I will stick with RG8X and my stock of PL-259s. This has worked for me many years now. I realize that it should not be used for 1500 watts

Re: Equipment Interconnect cables
Correction to my previous post. I do not use RG-400 jumpers, I use RG-142 coax jumpers. Both RG-400 and RG-142 have similar specs with the exception of RG-142 has a solid center conductor and RG-400

Re: Equipment Interconnect cables
I buy RG-400 jumpers for all my inside the shack interconnections. Entering the shack, I have a mix of N connectors for Heliax LDF4 Superflex and PL-259 connectors for RG-213 coax for antenna
