Signal losses, return loss and interference, the mechanical integrity of the cable, weaknesses in shielding - all these details count! To ensure top signal transmission, compromises should be avoided. If, for example, you use standard F-type screw-on connectors instead of our compression FC-5170, cable screening will drop by 5-15 dB anywhere between 30 and 3000 MHz. It is a measurable and indisputable fact!
