 Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:38 am Post subject: RG400 with RG58 |
 |
|
When I started my Velocity build, I installed embedded antennas in the wings with RG58 also embedded from the wing root to the antennas. Now I need to complete the rest of the coax runs to the radios (about 12 additional feet). Is there any reason I can't use RG400 for this section of the cable, connecting the two with BNC connectors?

In short - that would work just fine.
The only caution I would add is that RG400 is slightly different in size than RG58. Make sure the connectors you use are compatible with the cable. A dual-crimp BNC designed for RG 58 may not fit on RG400 as 400 has dual (thus thicker) shielding. You won’t know this until you try to push the crimp ferrule into position prior to final crimp.

Both are nominally 0.195" diameter and use
the same connectors. The shield grip sleeve
is a bit harder to push over the RG400 shields
because there are 2 of them . . . but it will
go.

Thanks very much for the help. Looks like I have a way forward.
