Default New WiFi Adapter

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?
