Encyclopedia : R : RG : RG5 : RG-58
RG-58/U is a specific type of coaxial cable, often used for Thin Ethernet (10base2) and low-power signal connections. The cable has a characteristic impedance of either 50 or 52 ohms.
When used for Ethernet, it provides a maximum segment length of 185 meters.
Most radio communication systems, such as marine ssb, marine vhf, amateur, police, fire, etc., are designed to work with 50 ohm cable.
