Would these cable work on aviation NAV/COM/antenna?

Thanks in advance.

IIRC, RG-58U is indeed the old standard for NAV/COM antenna cables, and the
crimped connectors--which will be on any commercially manufactured
cables--are the preferred and most durable means of termination. The BNC
connectors with threaded backshells and compression grommets are also
approved, and give good service when applied correctly; but are a little
tricky to install and are primarily used for field repairs when the correct
crimping tool is not readily available.

There are also better cables available today, with less loss and better
shielding, and some with lighter weight--and can easily be made in custom
lengths to fit your exact application.

But; the short answer to your quetion is YES.
