Help identifying tiny coax

Oct 17, 2005 2 Replies

I came across a spool of some very small coax in the hopes that it could be used in 802.11 but now not a clue of what it is. It is on a Raychem reel. The Description tag says 5028A1318-0 440086. As best I can measure it is



0.075 inch OD, 0.055 braid diameter, 0.040 insulation OD and the center conductor measures 0.015. The outer jacket is black and the inner insulation is tan in color. The braid is very dense fine wire as is the center conductor. It looks and feels like high quality stuff. Any help or even a good guess appreciated.

Thanks Bert. I really dropped the ball on this one by not hitting Raychem before posting here.

Use the force, Luke; Raychem has a Web site with a search by product number.

The resultant link is too long to include here, but the cable you have is 50 ohms, and they claim it's an RG178 type with "improved electricals".
