Why? If diameter, RG400 or RG142 is a far better choice, because the double silver-coated copper braid provides MUCH superior shielding. Much of the cost of cable fab is labor; use of the better coax increases cost some.

DX Eng sells RG400 jumpers. Last summer, I bought three custom jumpers with different connectors on the ends for my lab setup. I don't recall where I bought them.
