| Semi-steel wire | 1.0~3.0mm | Solid copper | 0.30dB/m | Relatively stable, Shield it well | Test calibration, Front segment of millimeter wave |
2. Key parameter comparison and selection logic
2.1 Priority of electrical performance
| Parameter | RG-174 | RG-316 | Foamed PE line | Affect |
| Attenuation @6GHz | 1.8dBm/m | 1.7dBm/m | 0.9dBm/m | High-frequency signal integrity |
| Shielding efficiency | 70dB | 90dB | >90dB | Anti-interference ability |
| Impedance stability | ±3Ω | ±2Ω | ±1Ω | Reflection signal suppression |
2.2 Mechanical and environmental adaptability

3. Typical application scenarios and cable matchin
3.1 Consumer electronic products (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
Cable: RG-174
Reason: cost-sensitive, frequency ≤5GHz, short length (<0.3m) and controllable loss.
3.2 Test instrument jumper (vector network analyzer)
Cable: RG-316 or low-loss foam cable (such as Times LMR-200)
Reason: It needs to be resistant to plugging and low loss (high calibration accuracy requirements).
3.3 On-board radar/5G small base station
Cable: PTFE insulated foam cable (such as Gore G-FLEX 150)
Reason: 6~24GHz low loss demand, outer diameter ≤2mm convenient for wiring.
3.4 Military equipment
Cable: RG-316 (military standard MIL-DTL-17)
Reason: Resistant to extreme temperature and vibration, high shielding requirements
4. Supplementary explanation
4.1 Outer diameter mismatch: MCX connectors usually support 1.0~3.0mm wire diameters, and need to be customized beyond the range (such as micro wires, special MCX heads are required).
4.2 High-frequency loss: RG-174 is twice as high as foam PE wire at 6GHz, and long-distance transmission avoids use.
4.3 Phase stability: For phase-sensitive applications (phased arrays), semi-rigid lines or phase-stable cables (such as Huber+Suhner S100) are preferred.
4.4 Connector level: Gold-plated contact MCX (non-nickel-plated) is selected to ensure a life of >500 plugging and unplugging.
