Davis DRF-400 appears to be 76cents per foot up to 1k feet; Shireen appears to be $1.45 per foot (less in bulk).
DXE DX Max 400 is 95 cents per foot, 86 cents per foot on a 500-foot roll.
If you?re in an area with a large group, see if others need and order in bulk.

Measured as in loss,? Impedance and/or velocity? factor ? or all three?
Did you keep a log of the actual results? If so, could you share the actual numbers?

It was simply an insertion loss measurement. We did not record anything, just took a look to see if it was as low loss as advertised. With all the question I have received I wish we would have done more.
I will add that it was over a year ago, and I do not know the country of origin. If you buy Shireen coax today, will it come from the same factory mine did? I do not know.
I'll do a better job next time.
