    The grease is extruded away from the electrical contacting surfaces when re-assembling, allowing electrical throughput, while protecting the terminals from corrosion. Filling a coaxial connector with a properly formulated dielectric grease is good weather protection practice and will not block electrical throughput or signal.

  3. Is this the adapter I need for my new Antena

    Jul 27, 2021. #8. Based on the info you provided, you don't need an adapter. The antenna has an SL16 female connector, also known as a UHF female connector, also known as an SO239 connector. Your coax has a male UHF connector, also known as a PL259 connector (as you noted). It will plug directly into your antenna with no adapter required.

    For braided coaxial cable, any water intrusion will result in that water wicking down the cable. The water and copper will corrode and make a mess. You'll not only damage the connector on the coax, but likely several feet of coax. The corrosion can also damage the connector on the antenna.

    The .052" cavity is unique and used to crimp the center pins of the RFU-600-1 or AMP's 2266-001. RFA-4005-02 die set is used to crimp RG8/U, RG213/U, RG214/U, and Belden 9913 cables. Cavity dimensions: .100", .128" & .429". The .128" cavity crimps the center pin on Belden 9913 cable.

  7. Hardline Connector, N or UHF? | RadioReference.com Forums

    forums.radioreference.com/threads/hardline-connector-n-or-uhf.360222

    Yes, other than the obvious design/size differences: The more common 7-16 DIN connectors will handle more power, better PIM specs, cost more, etc. Unless you are doing higher power, higher frequency stuff, you probably don't need DIN connectors. The N connectors work just fine for average amateur/GMRS type uses.

  8. Losses in Coax Fittings? - RadioReference.com Forums

    mpddigital said: The exception to all the above is the old PL-259 connector. Loss on PL259's go up Significantly the higher you go up in freqs. For anything above 300MHz your loss will be really recognizable. Any connector increases in loss as frequencies rise but the PL-259's are pretty bad.

    Socialist state of MD. Feb 24, 2005. #3. "F" connectors are used for TV antennas and cable TV applications. "N" connectors are used for high frequency (UHF) antennas and radios. ("UHF" connectors, also known as PL-259 (m) & SO-239 (f) connectors, are not good at UHF frequencies, go figure.) N.

    Remove the terminator at the block and connect a new section of RG6 cable. That section will be run into the house via the same (enlarged) or new hole as the existing satellite dish cable. You'll then need to change the wall outlet from a single F female on the wall plate to another F female on the plate.

    The exterior connector will come from inside to an Exterior F-Block (easily grounded): The exterior would also be using the same type of custom cable (F to PL/SO) to get from the insertion point to the antenna. I know CATV coax (typical RG6/x) is 75ohm, but I will be using 50ohm RG8/x. Only the connectors for the Thru-Wall Setup would be the ...
