Does anyone has a table with Semi-rigid coaxials, dimensions vs frequencies?
Does internal diameter have to do with the frequency?
 

Working frequency range of coaxial waveguide is limited by minimum wavelength λmin≈π*(D+d)/2. Where D is outer diameter, d is inner diameter. For wavelength<λmin, higher types of waves are excited in coaxial waveguide.

Here graphics of attenuation vs frequency.

Its a big problem when using high power (> 50KW) TV transmitters ( Fc > 500 MHz). At a placed i worked at the older Txs had 6 1/8" feedery, the later generation had a lot of wave guide - It was HUGE ! (.9 X .6 m?)

on ebay I find two diameters, ones with 0.141'' and ones with 0.086''
Are they both suitable for 10GHz? (lengths less than 10cm)
Which of them are better for 10GHz?
 

Refer to Micro-Coax for a more complete semi-rigid portfolio. **broken link removed**

All their cables, on both diameters are suited greater than 20GHz, so I guess all are good to 10GHz
 

Cable 0.141" has lower insertion loss than cable 0.086". But for lengths less than 10cm with connectors this difference is not significant, and cable 0.086" has lower bending radius for ease of installation.
