• “Why MIL-DTL-17 Coax Cables with PTFE Dielectrics should be Specified for Commercial and Military Applications”
Harbour Industries was asked to evaluate samples of "RG178" and "RG316" coax cables that were supposedly manufactured in accordance with the MIL-DTL-17 specification. At the very least, the cables were reported to perform as the MIL-DTL-17 specification. One manufacturer was located in North America, the other was located in Asia. Here's what we discovered.
