RG214 (right picture) is low loss cable with double braid and non-contaminating jacket
General Specifications

Just look at it, the only different is the outer conducter (shield) whereby RG214 using dual Braid compared with RG213. I'm not sure the result of using RG214 technically because we're more common to use RG213 and easy to get at open market.
Please comment.

Perhaps someone should look into it, maybe actually use both cables and see the differences technical wise.. There must be a reason why they came up with the double braid.. Probably RG214 provides good isolation when you have more than one cable lying side-by-side.. This is my common sense speaking.. My technical knowledge is almost non-existing... lol :P
Yes, i agree with you, 9W2MIT. But for this cable RG214, it maybe hard to find it in local market, also the price maybe expensive too. Anyone who had experience or technical knowledge on this type of coax, could share with us the information, thanks.
last time got someone selling RG214 at really cheap price. cheaper that RG213. However,even before i can pick up my phone to book, the whole thing was sold out. haiyaahh...
QSL..i got offered to buy this cable but unfortunately i have no budget allocation on the spot..once had it...sold out..:(
214 is more commonly used in Satellite installs for the downlink side of a uplink antenna as not to radiate into the broadcast side. It is great when extra sheilding is required.
