Transceive cables for SB series

[CHRISTOPHER W. (Chris) BOONE]

RG62 is used in IBM 3270 Mainframe and some other FEW data
networks...Ethernet LANs that run THICK ethernet uses 50ohm coax
such as RG58 or RG8 (a spiked tap scores through to the center
conductor and makes the connection...in other words, DONT use
coax from a LAN...it has holes all thru it and is not rated for
VHF work anyway..)
I used RG62 at my former job working in Telecom.....any good
coax dealer should have some...or contact any IBM mainframe
service or dealer...they may have some short pieces lying around.
(But I used RG58 on my 401/303 successfully...I THINK the
difference in capacitance may make a slight difference in loading
on the LMOs)
