My cable decision was Belden RG-142B/U(Trade No. 83242).The reasons were
two...TFE Teflon insulation and FEP Teflon jacket material as opposed to PVC
which will produce toxic fumes when burned. In addition, this cable was the
only one I could find which has a double shield of inner and outer braid. The
primary reason for shielding in the first place is to prevent unwanted signals
from finding their way into the cable. such as strobe or ignition stuff. This
cable costs around 2.30 per foot vs .24 for RG58 but I always need another
excuse to bleed off the checkbook balance.

Completed my installation of the S-TEC pitch servo motor and cable today plus
2hrs time in an Ercoupe.
