wrote: The popular low loss wifi coax is the LMR series. LMR100 is about 1/8" thick and should only be used for short pigtails. LMR200 is about 1/4" thick and looks a lot like RG-59 and is good up to 10 or 15'. LMR400 is 1/2" thick and looks like RG 213 but lower loss. To give you an idea of the relative losses, that 30' run in LMR100 would loose 11.7db or about 93% of the signal. In LMR200 it would loose 5 db or about 58% and in LMR-400 it would loose 2db or about 37%. Thanks Glenn, looks like I have the LMR400. Are you saying that path loss at 2400 MHz precludes distances over 2 miles regardless of antenna gain or height? |
