This TWS-600 coaxial antenna cable is ultra low-loss, braided 1/2\" foam dielectric cable with N-Male connectors on both ends. Why does ultra low-loss matter?
Here\'s the 100\' insertion loss for two popular cables and the TWS-600 in a WiFi system:
Cable 100\' insertion loss
RG58 24.8 dBLMR-240 12.7 dBTWS-600 4.9 dB
Compared to the TWS-600, the RG58 has 19.9dB more loss. Since each 6dB is a halving or doubling in distance, for a 100\' cable, the TWS-600 cable will xmit 8x further than the RG58 and 4x further than the LMR-240. If you could xmit/receive 8x further just by replacing the cable, wouldn\'t it be worth it?
The above also applies to cellular applications. At the higher-frequency-5GHz WiFi band, the difference in performance is even more extreme.Mfg Details The TerraWave (Ventev) TWS-600 1/2\" standard braided coaxial cable with foam dielectric has a UV-resistant polyethylene jacket for outdoor use. This low loss 50 Ohm coaxial cable is designed with a stranded outer conductor and a copper-clad aluminum center conductor. Maximum frequency is 10.3 GHz.
