Q: What’s the typical capacitance per foot for micro coaxial cables?
A: There isn’t one single “typical” value applicable to all micro coaxial cables. However, for common thin micro coax cables like RG178 or similar constructions, you can generally expect a capacitance in the range of 20 picoFarads per foot (pF/ft) to 31 pF/ft (65 pF/m to 100 pF/m).
Understanding Micro Coax Capacitance
Capacitance in a coaxial cable refers to its ability to store electrical energy between the center conductor and the shield. It’s an inherent property caused by the physical separation (dielectric material) and geometry of these two conductors.
Common Micro Coax Capacitance Values
While precise specs are always product-specific, here’s a rough guide:
The Absolute Rule: Consult the Datasheet!
Don’t rely on “typical” ranges for your specific design! Always obtain the official datasheet for the exact micro coaxial cable part number you are using. Reputable manufacturers will explicitly list the capacitance per unit length (usually pF/ft or pF/m) as a key electrical parameter. Values between different brands or even batches of the “same” cable type can vary within tolerance.
Capacitance Conversion: Feet to Meters
Measurement | Capacitance Range |
---|---|
Per Foot | ~20 pF/ft to ~31 pF/ft |
Per Meter | ~65 pF/m to ~100 pF/m |
