Pasternack sells 18 GHz rated test cables meant for use with test equipment like a spectrum analyzer, TDR, etc. It sounds like he’s talking about one of those. Not something you would leave installed out in the sun and rain.
I find inconsistent information about N connectors, some say any ordinary N connector these days is good up to 11 GHz, others still have the 6 GHz spec. What I also wonder about is terminating it myself using crimp tools, vs having one professionally made, and whether it matters if you instead use a solder type connector.

We've been using the 11ghz AF dish with the provided coax cables and they have been fine. I have a situation where I need to mount 2 physical AF Radios to the same dish (2 SISO Channels licensed), so I'll need a longer coax for one radio. Has anyone made custom length Coax cables for 11ghz radios? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
