RG-400 cable design
Structurally, it is a coaxial cable RG-400 consists of:
- central conductor: stranded 19×0,2 mm of silver copper, total diameter 0,98 mm
- dielectric made of one-piece fluoroplastic (PTFE) with a diameter of 2,95 mm
- first shielding layer: braiding of silver-plated copper with a diameter of 3,50 mm
- second shielding layer: silver-plated copper braid with a diameter of 4,10 mm
- outer protective sheath made of fluoroplastic (FEP) of brown transparent color with a diameter of 4,80 mm

Everything suited me both in the work of the online store and in the quality of the goods. No complaints. Politely served and despite the difficulties with logistics in my region, promptly delivered. I bought a large batch in bulk for our company. I intend to completely rebuild the communication system and make it modern.
