Finding accurate RF cable specifications shouldn’t require digging through datasheets and manufacturer PDFs. CoaxRF has put together a free technical reference library covering everything engineers, technicians, and ham radio operators need when working with coaxial cable
assemblies.
Coaxial Cable Specifications & Loss Tables
The library includes detailed specs for popular cable types including LMR-400, LMR-240, RG-316, RG-400, RG-58, and more. Each entry covers
impedance, velocity of propagation, attenuation per 100ft across frequency bands, maximum power handling, and physical dimensions —
everything you need to select the right cable for your application.
Connector Compatibility & Reference Guides
Confused about SMA vs RP-SMA, or when to use TNC over BNC? The reference guides cover common RF connector types, their applications, and
compatibility — including N-type, SMA, BNC, TNC, PL-259, and specialty automotive connectors like Fakra.
Application Notes
Whether you’re running feedline for a ham radio antenna, wiring a cellular booster, building a WiFi backhaul link, or assembling test
cables for a lab bench, the application notes help you choose the right cable type and connector combination for your specific use case.
Who Uses It
- RF and microwave engineers needing quick impedance and attenuation references
- Ham radio operators comparing feedline options for HF, VHF, and UHF installations
- Cellular and WiFi technicians specifying cable for outdoor antenna runs
- Military and aerospace contractors working with mil-spec cable types like RG-400 and RG-142
RF Coaxial Library
The entire RF coaxial cable technical reference library is free to access with no
signup. CoaxRF also manufactures custom RF cable assemblies to order — hand-assembled and tested in the USA — so you can go from spec to
finished cable in one place.
