The RG58 is a flexible and favourable coaxial cable for many applications (75Ω see RG59). This line complies with the UL-Standard MIL C 17.
RG58: (Sheath colour: black) 50 Ω, Temperature range: -30°C bis +70°C

RG58 vs. arnoflex 58 LSNH
Since we always want to offer our customers only the best quality and at the same time affordable prices, we have launched our own brand arnoflex together with a European cable manufacturer. Our arnoflex cables are a low-cost alternative to well-known branded cables, with equivalent and in some cases better mechanical and electrical properties.
In contrast to the RG58, the arnoflex 58 LSNH has better attenuation values and is halogen-free. In addition, the RG58 C/U is single-shielded, while the arnoflex 58 LSNH is double-shielded.
Difference RG58 to standard coaxial cable:
The RG58 is a 4.85 mm thick, favourable coaxial radio frequency cable.
Single shielded and suitable for most applications, e.g. measuring lines and antennas.
The conductor is isolated by the dielectirc medium and is in the centre of the cable. The gemoetry must be very accurate and precise. When a coaxial cable is bent with a smaller bending radius than permitted, the electrical values won't be met anymore and the cable is no longer suitable for certain applications.
