The following table shows coax type and the attenuation (measured in db) you can expect by frequency of use per 100 feet of cable.

Data gathered from:

• Hutton Antenna Supply Catalog, 1997, p. 144
• Barry McLarnon, VE3JF, Attenuation of Coaxial Transmission Lines in the VHF/UHF/Microwave Amateur and ISM Bands

Other Info:

• The LMR series is manufactured by Times Microwave.
  
• 9913 is manufactured by Belden Corp.
  
• RG-series cables are manufactured by Belden and many others.
  
• The LDF series are foam dielectric, solid corrugated outer conductor cables, best known by the brand name HELIAX (®Andrew Corp.).

• Attenuation at any frequency = (K1 x SqRt(Fmhz) + K2 x Fmhz)
