This cable is .242" diameter with a #16 AWG stranded center conductor and a foam dielectric.This cable is suitable for 50-75 foot runs in the VHF/UHF range.  The cable is considered by some to be obsolete.  The cable has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω.This cable is suitable for 50-75 foot runs in the VHF/UHF range.  The cable is considered by some to be obsolete.  The cable has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω.  This cable is .405" in diameter with a #13 AWG center conductor and a solid polyethylene dielectric.  LMR-195 is thin and flexible.  RFC195 is LMR-195 equivalent and suitable for jumpers on 2m and 70cm application in lengths of 6ft or less.  LMR-195 has less attenuation than does RG-58U at all frequencies.  At CB frequencies it is 1.8 vs 2.5 and at 70cm ham it is 4.8 vs 7.4.  LMR-195 has lower loss than other RG ‘58’ type cables. This is achieved through the use of a high velocity dielectric and a bonded aluminum tape outer conductor.
