[Premium-Rx] Source for BNC to BNC Coax?

[stephous]

In a receive only environment the interconnect coax (not antenna cable) can
be almost any medium grade quality. If high power RF or Video is present
things change. Even so you don't need RG-8 or LMR low signal level patch
cables that are a few feet long.

Watkins-Johnson suggests 50 Ohm coax for all RF requirements and 93 Ohm coax
for audio and all other signals. It's in the book. When choosing antenna
cable you need to do your homework. Signal patch cables do not usually need
to be double shielded low loss types, but they need to be flexible.

I have a whole box of double shielded Quirk Wire 93 Ohm MIL patch cables.
Tested with the equipment I use in my shop I cannot tell the difference
between The Quirks and Pomona. I'm saving the Quirks for show, just to look
nice, oooh, ahhh.

On the other hand Quirk can make patch cables that will bring tears to your
eyes.
