Hall A uses RG-174 cable to form short connections between electronics modules. The connections are generally on the order of 1 to 16 nanoseconds in length. The signals are typically NIM level logic. Occasionally analog signals are run over RG-174, when attenuation is not a serious concern.


Recommended RG-174 cables.

RG-174 is in the stock room under stock number 6145
