If the equipment is rack-mounted, and the cables are permanently
attached, and ty-wrapped in place to prevent undue strain on the BNC
connectors, RG-213 or other large cable may be usable.

However, if the cables will be frequently connected and disconnected,
re-routed, tripped over, etc, I'd stick with RG58 (or some variation
thereof).  RG-213 and other 0.4" cables are just too stiff for
portable patch cord use.
