[time-nuts] Galvanic decoupling of GPS antenna

[Robert Benward]

Rated for 1400V from CENTER conductor to shield, not shield to the outside. 
If you choose to use RG-58 with 250V on the shield then you will need to put 
the entire cable inside conduit.  It is not acceptable to have any type of 
exposed mounting.
