Does it hold bends well? The problem is that after you solder it I want it to stay in the same position without yanking the contacts. I feel like alot of cables have too much spring to them.
Like do they have thermoset coax? For instance, I have a PCB that has a coax that goes into it, and then it does a 90 degree bend and plugs into the PCB with a pin. I want it so the center conductor can hold a 90 degree bend or something like that, so I can have heat shrink over the center pin and the wire (I had to make it so there is bare wire without the dielectric that bends 90 degree, and then just make a 'elbow' with electronics silicone. Works but its not what the factory had. And all these HP's have small area between the PCB and the body panel, so if the coax has spring it ends up rubbing against the body panel and stuff.
For some of them, I think I can measure current and down-grade to a thinner cable also (clip on RF probe).
If that does not exist I can get little brackets made out of whatever and use really small zipties or lashing to get the wire to form a 90 degree bend I guess..
I like RG400 but its like spring loaded for a chassis application lol
The RG174 is like way thinner then what is in here, I doubt it matters, Just need to verify the power level, but I don't think that will ever be a issue in a chassis? With RG174, its so thin that these bend problems go away.. I was thinking to maintain the same dimensions, which is hard/annoying.
