[Repeater-Builder] LDF1-50 with PL259 UG-176 ?

2010-05-03 Thread Howard Z
Hi, I have read that one can put plain low cost PL259 connectors on FSJ1-50A Andrew 1/4 inch suplerflex using a UG-176 reducer. Can the same be done with the Andrew LDF1-50 1/4 hardline? The local business I usually use for building cables is only aware of the possibility of doing this with

Ahh, right you are. Thats one of those things that you never refere to by the proper name around here. How about doing it without a reducer at all then? According to this the dielectric size of RG-8 is 0.285 and LDF-1 is 0.29 Cant find the dimensions of the shield of RG-8 but it brings the size
