Hello, Saad -
Actually, there are several, but they depend on how much loss you are
willing to take and how you support and guide it down and up. The
polyethylene jacketed coaxes are doing a great job because they are
tough, very scuff proof, and slide easily through guide rings without
hanging up. They are flexible enough to protect the electrical
characteristics of the coax while allowing the necessary movement, but
not so limp that they bend too much and hang up.
"Bury-Flex" is a good choice for physical characteristics and low loss
comparable to or better than the "ultra" materials out there, and there
is a poly jacketed RG213 type that is doing a good job for most HF
applications of this type.
Detailed further information is available from us or Davis RF, if
needed.
