9913 or rigid

Post by stylzmovement »

I will like to know the pros and cons of the uses of these feedlines
Belden 9913 and rigid hard wire
Do they have better shielding for residential areas?
How about RF leaking from the cable which performs better?

That's about 100m, right?

Why so long? Does it have to be so long?

Generally you should try to keep it as short as
possible. 20-30m tops, if possible.

The best one is usually the more expensive one.
Otherwise, look at the attenuation in dB per 100m or 100feet.

Shielding is usually not critical, if you're not exactly buying
RG58 or similar cheap cable.
