A colleague at work wanted to know if he should order RG316 or RG316/U.
As
it happens, I don't think he could find any RG316. (but the co-ax
connector
data said use RG316)


Noted. It is a specialised microwave cable often used for 2.4GHz. Unless
he
has the right tools he will have a lot of trouble terminating it
correctly.
It would be sensible to buy a length with the connectors qalready fitted.
It
might cost more but it should ensure it works. AFAIK there is no practical
difference that he needs to worry about.

We have the correct tools. He is just using the last few metres of the
current reel, and needs to get some more. Of course, nobody remembers where
this reel came from.
