MP Antenna discusses some of the best practices for antenna coaxial cables, applying to all types of products, including the multi-polarized antennas the company provides.
Antennas can use different types of coaxial cables, but there are some best practices to follow. For example, keep the coax run as short as possible to ensure the strongest transmission signal. Also, remember that the smaller the diameter, the less efficient the cable. Yet there are applications where cables with thicker copper cores come with unwanted tradeoffs.
There are many connector types for axial coaxial cables, but connector selection is largely a matter of preference. Still, using the wrong type of connector (or cable) can make a signal stronger or weaker than what’s required.
