RG-174/U Gauge size?

RG-174/U Gauge size?

2008-02-15 by Ti_

Anybody know what gauge size the center wire is and about what gauge the braided shield is when twisted up and used for a ground wire?
Thanks,

Hi, I found a datasheet that says the center conductor is 26 AWG. If I had to guess, I d say the braid is around 18 gauge when twisted up. Andrew

For MOTM and module-building purposes I usually have to trim off some
of the shield before I twist it up.
