fini Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Is there a bulk coax cable that is more flexible than the typical RG-6, or RG-59? fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Characteristic impedance is not the same as resistance. You cannot measure it with an ohm meter. It is measured at high frequency and takes specialized equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is measured at high frequency and takes specialized equipment. I do realize that difference, but I also know that sometimes people use resistance and impedance interchangably. I do have access to an impedance meter (as well as a lot of other highly specialized test equipment), so just how would I go about measuring it? At that frequency is it measured and what points on the connector are used to get this rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you get the cable I'm talking about (and do some soldering) because it's very flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Simplest way to measure characteristic impedance is with a time delay reflectometer. Or you might be able to get by with an appropriate pulse generator and oscilloscope. Never had to do that, so its way past my ability to explain how to do it.
