[MRCA] Coax assembly Identification

[Robert Downs]

You can of course use them anywhere that you need that length, impedance (they are 52 ohm nominal) and connector.  But they were probably originally made for the AN/VRC-12 family of radios.  Or at least that was one place where they were specified.  

 

I have no idea what the preservative was/is.

I picked up some surplus BNC coax assemblies from the Gilbert meet years ago. Does anyone know which piece(s) of equipment they were used with? 

  

The coax is RG-58 with a straight male coax plug at one end and a right angle coax plug at the other end. 

  

The first CABLE ASSEMBLY, RF is 8 feet long with the following identification: 

  

MFR 59928 

5995-00-823-2990 

CG-1773B/U (8F0IN) 

DLA400-88-F-1093 

  

The second one is 22 feet long: 

  

MFR 54736 

5995-01-054-7178 

CG-1773B/U (22F0IN) 

SP0451-94-F-0622 

  

The 8 foot cable came in a plastic bag with what I presume is a preservative that smells like kerosene. Any idea what the preservative was? 

  

Thanks,
