According to the Radiall catalog, MHV (aka BNC-HT) are rated to 5kV un-
mated or 7kV mated - which might be marginal for some AMPS users.
Current rating is 5A.
SHV are rated at 10/12kV and 10 amps.
The RG58 cable is rated at 15kV (DC, not RF) but not many amps. Still,
this is an area where a drop of a few volts doesn't matter, so long as
the cable doesn't actually get hot.
