Flat 50 ohm coax?

An old friend has just bought some coax off Amazon so he can feed his aircraft band RX feed though his window without drilling holes. It is very short with just the bit through the window frame being flat. Both inside and out you feed it with "proper" coax and connectors.

Now, I have never seen these for 50 ohm coax and not sure these exist. I expect there is a very limited market, but I guess they could be very useful for some people.

Roger,

This style of pigtail cable appears quite common, albeit mostly for receive applications. Search Amazon for "flat 50 ohm coaxial cable" and you'll find lots, mostly F-to-F (a connector I hate, but that's a rant for another day) but there was at least one BNC-BNC on the first page.

Thanks Geoff. When I looked on Amazon using your words I could only see satellite flat coax, not 50 ohm flat coax.
