Fellow listmembers,
I have here a large roll of nice Teflon-jacketed/Teflon dielectric coaxial=
cable. It's double-braid shielded, about the diameter of RG-8/U (maybe=
just a hair smaller), and it bears this mysterious imprint repeating along=
a yellow marker tape for its entire length.
"B W65 OJ 12814"
This particular cable is, to the best of my knowledge, used on aircraft=
transponders. I'm able to say this because it was a refugee roll from=
Boeing Surplus, and I've seen the exact same stuff used for antenna lead=
to the transponder space in the avionics rack.
HOWEVER -- Before I put it to use, I'd like to know if anyone can tell me=
what impedance it is. I'm -really- hoping for 50 ohm nominal... ;-)
Anyone know for sure what this stuff is?
Thanks much.
