Thanks for the info Steve, your knowledge of commercial systems is very valuable to us on towertalk. 7-16 DIN connectors are indeed very robust. I have a few on my 10m system however they are larger
Anyone use this cable manufacturer? Made in Mississippi.... I'm considering using them for my main tower runs.... maybe split a reel with someone. www.trilogycoax.com 73, ______________________ Cl
Stay with Andrew/Comscope. To difficult to install the connectors on it. And the Andrew connectors are cheaper and much more plentiful. 73 Jim W7RY _______________________________________________ ___
Hello Clay, I think Aircell brand coaxial cable is manufactured in Germany. It looks like Trilogy is one of their US distributors. 73, Gary K9GS -- Original message --From: Clay Autery <KY5G@montac
No sir... "Trilogy was incorporated in 1985 as a buyout of a division of General Cable. All of Trilogys AirCellŪ Cables are produced in a 225,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Pearl, MS." htt
I use nothing but JMA's because my main customer specifies them. 4.3-10 JMA's for 1/2" corrugated, 1/2" Superflex, 7/8" corrugated, and 1-5/8" corrugated are widely available, but unfortunately JMA c
Good morning Clay, Perhaps you are correct. I based my post on what I saw here: https://www.mauritz.de/en/coaxial-cables Best of luck on your project. "Trilogy was incorporated in 1985 as a buyout
Some of us have "been there, been bitten" by the terrible water migration in the first gen Belden 9913 with air dielectric. Trilogy claims "no water migration" with their air dielectric outdoor versi
I've not yet gone that far down the road. For folks who are used to scrounging reel ends at Hanfests, I am sure it will be considered expensive. <wink> Cost is why I am looking at buying a reel and
Clay: I have used Trilogy (Aluminium) commercially for years. Mechanically, can't be beat. Water migration does not happen, and it is warranted against that. Connectors attach quite solidly -- with t
I just took a look at pictures of the 4.3-10.. I REALLY like the fluted part of the female connector. Looks like it has a better mating surface than the 7-16 does. If you dont get the 7-16 nice and t
I still cant get past the fact that it's aluminum... But that's just me. But... That makes it cheaper and lighter. I also have to admit that the AVA5 is really delicate! It can be damaged slamming in
Yeah-aluminum. It is pretty thick too. I agree, AVA is delicate compared to LDF Center of Trilogy is copper.-- Mike, WV2ZOW _______________________________________________ ___________________________
Thank you.... I would only be using the big Trilogy stuff for main runs of hardline on the tower or other places appropriate to the hardline and larger bending radius. I've never minded paying for t
Not really, they're both rated for -165 dBc, or something like that. BUT, the 4.3-10 IS supposedly less dependent on accurate tightening with a torque wrench (during mating with the female connector)
I have not seen the DIN problem that you mentioned and I do not have a torque wrench. There is a 4.3-10 torque wrench available so it is probably just as critical. Also they also sell push-on pull-of

are you using ? What brand DIN and what cable is the male attached to ? I have not had any issues with inter series connectors either, like din male to type N female.... or a 7-16 din double male, or
