Well the answers are fairly straight forward. It really depends on the installation. Small coax, RG58 types, are alright for runs less than 10 Ft. For runs up 100Ft, RG8 Types Should be used. RG213 is better than RG8 or RG8 Foam Core Types, due to Wx survivability, and Water Intrusion. The Price Difference between RG213 and RG214, is usually NOT a cost effective for a NORMAL Marine Installation, especially on a non-Commercial Vessels, where budgets are tight. For Military Installations RG214 is the MINIMUM. On commercial vessels up thru the 80's, RG213 was the standard, for runs under 100 Ft. Thanks Bruce |
