Incidentally, I blundered across this data sheet for RG-6/u. They
can make it just about any way you want it, and still call it
RG-6/u. Note the line with:
6) Braiding coverage: Between 30 - 97% available;
I can't imagine who would want to buy 30% coverage outer
shielding.

I too have started to feeling that there is a heck of lot more
variation than I realised in how coax cables can be made and yet are
still conform to some particular technical specification.

I came across some interesting articles at "abc cables". Here are some
which caught my eye. http://www.abccables.com/technical-support.html

Wire? or Cable?
RG6 Copper vs. Copper Clad Steel
RG59 vs. RG6
Better Copper?

I would like to get other (supplier's) info as that site is quite
useful. Has anyone got any links to these sort of explanatory
articles?
