All four tested as fine on the nanovna and are very handy when assembling RF mixers and signal generators or other test equipment together.

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as is possible with SMA/RG316 -- reserve for non-critical applications

When I measured one of these cables with my VNA (recognizing that I'm a bit of a newbie at RF stuff), I was surprised at how bad the S11 and S22 measured (only -10 dB) for such a short cable. It made me question my measurement.So I went back and measured just a barrel connector, and then another similar cable from a very reputable manufacturer.The conclusion: these cables are sub-par. They are probably good enough for many applications, and you'll only lose about 1 dB up to 6 GHz, but for a cable this short... it really ought to be better. They are quite inexpensive, though, so perhaps they make sense for some purposes.
