RG 240

This document provides specifications for a 240 single braid coaxial cable. The cable has a 1.4mm copper inner conductor, 3.8mm foamed PE dielectric with an aluminate foil skin, a braided copper shield with 90% coverage, and an outer jacket. Key electrical parameters include a 50 ohm impedance, 85% velocity factor, 30GHz cutoff frequency, and attenuation rates up to 66.8dB/100m at 5800MHz. The cable also has mechanical specs like 230N tensile strength and minimum bending radii.
