M17/RG316 is a high-performance coaxial cable widely used in telecommunications, radio frequency (RF) transmission, and military applications. Below are its key specifications: Electrical Specifications: - Impedance: 50 ± 2 ohms
- Capacitance: 29.4 pF/ft
- Maximum Operating Voltage: 1,200 volts
- Velocity of Propagation: 69.5%
- Maximum Frequency: 3 GHz
Attenuation (Signal Loss) per 100 Feet: | Frequency (MHz) | Attenuation (dB) |
|---|
| 10 | 2.5 | | 30 | 4.3 | | 50 | 5.6 | | 100 | 8.0 | | 400 | 16.0 | | 1,000 | 26.0 | | 1,500 | 32.0 | | 2,000 | 38.0 | | 2,500 | 42.0 | | 3,000 | 47.0 |
Note: Attenuation values are approximate and can vary based on specific cable construction and environmental factors. Power Handling Capability: | Frequency (MHz) | Power (Watts) |
|---|
| 10 | 1,869 | | 30 | 1,072 | | 50 | 827 | | 100 | 580 | | 400 | 282 | | 1,000 | 173 | | 1,500 | 138 | | 2,000 | 118 | | 2,500 | 104 | | 3,000 | 93 |
Note: Power handling decreases with increasing frequency due to higher attenuation. Mechanical Properties: - Inner Conductor:
