@Felthry I had to look them up. Coaxial cables?
@terrana yep! specifically, 50Ω ones. outside of extremely esoteric situations, they're all effectively interchangeable.

@Felthry Are you in such an esoteric situation?
@terrana Hmm. Not exactly but kind of yes. Need to get the lowest inductance we can possibly manage.

@Felthry we ended up looking up https://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/coax-chart.htm and staring at the numbers before making a decision without really knowing what the numbers meant
it sounded like RG-8X had the biggest O.D. but lower capacitance and attenuation at 400 MHz, so, 🤷🏽♀️? we assume there are other tradeoffs too but they weren't on the table

this is probably niche enough that literally no one is going to have an opinion if they even know what these numbers mean
