What is an advantage of foam-dielectric versus solid-dielectric coaxial cable?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. It has less loss per foot
Foam-dielectric coax has less loss per foot than solid-dielectric coax, so more of your signal reaches the antenna. The trade-off is that foam can soak up moisture more easily and handles less voltage.
Tip: Foam = lower loss.
