[Sneap] RG58C/U max dc voltage?

[Hjalmar Bruhns]

Dear SNEAPers,

Does anyone know how much DC voltage a RG58C/U cable is spec'd to handle?

SHV-10 connectors like the Kings 1065-1  
http://www.kingselectronics.com/HighVoltage/connectors/tabid/52/laproduct/351/default.aspx  
are rated to 10kV "for use with RG58C/U cable". But the bit of info I find  
on RG58C/U concerning voltage is "Max. Voltage 1900 Volt" - although that  
probably applies to RF applications, not DC.

We intend to switch our ~8kV on and off with up to 5kHz using HV switches  
that have ~100ns switching times.

Can we trust RG58C/U to handle that?

Thanks,

Hjalmar
