Belden Coax 9913 vs 9914

Post by SteeevO » Thu May 03, 2012 12:44 am

I saw this on ebay:

now I'm wondering what is better. Belden 9914 or 9913?

Randy??

What will be your application?

I try to stay with LMR (double shielded) style cables for VHF/UHF and higher frequencies especially with longer cable runs.

Here is a loss chart I found: http://www.w4rp.com/ref/coax.html

It'll mostly be for HF. Need to rerun some coax around here and need coax for field day. I also have a need to use a small section of it for some wifi stuff around here... nothing serious.

Just thought that was a good deal for coax that is almost as good as 9913

Thanks for the chart!

also just found this stuff:

Specs:

which looks even better than 9913 on HF freqs. I might pick some up. These coax deals are in San Diego.

I'd recommend not using anything except a double shielded cable for WiFi. Even short runs can have excessive loss.

Yeah I'm just doing a few little wifi runs around here. nothing really worth buying coax exclusively for. My main concern in HF. Ham radio is way higher priority than having wifi :D lol
