Question Flexible and thin cable
Hello all,
I need a "short" (3m -> ~10ft) thin and flexible cable for my wifi card, a cisco aironet 352 with a man-welded pigtail connector .
On this forum I found various suggestions, but all cables are 5mm thick and none of them is more flexible than a RG58.
I found that the Belden H-155 has a very low loss (0.3 db/m, 0.1 db/ft) at 2.4GHz but is very thick (5.1mm), do you have a suggestion for an alternative? And wich connector should I use on it?
Thanx a lot to everyone

Why does all 10ft have to be flexible. Flexibility and Low loss are somewhat mutually exclusive. You can't have both without compromise. My suggestion is to go with a thicker low loss cable then use a small 12 inch pigtail of flexible cable near the card. This is pretty much the standard way unless you have a compelling reason not to.

Thanx a lot, combining a thin flexible cable with a thicker one is a good idea. But which cable should I use near the card?

Thanx again
