OK, you've got me. I am the guy responsible for the K1EA
solution to .750" CATV hardline. But be forewarned, this is
the expensive (though waterproof) way to do it.
For 12 years I ran a small cable TV company. We bought A
LOT of hardline connectors. One high quality vendor was,
and is, Gilbert Engineering Co., Inc., P. O. Box 23189,
Phoenix, AZ 85063. Tel: 602/245-1050, 800/528-5567 (DON'T
tell them that I sent you).
My best guess is that they kept getting requests for
adapters from the ham community within the CATV community,
and finally gave in. They sell adapters for standard cable
TV connectors, to permit you to end in a 50 ohm N (female) -
- model G-CH-N-50-F, or UHF (male or female) -- model G-CH-
UHF-M or G-CH-UHF-F.
As a result of our common experience, Ken and I recommend
AGAINST the female UHF adapter, as it has its "vagina"
(surely there must be a better word) is unsupported by
plastic, so the second time you remove and reinsert a male
UHF connector, one of the walls breaks. Use the male
adapter, a barrel, and then another male on your RG-213 or
9913 jumper.
Using these adapters, you may use anyone's standard CATV
hardline connectors which end in a "stinger." Selecting a
CATV hardline connector requires that you know, in advance,
whether you want radiation shields, the exact manufacturer
and model of the hardline (Ken uses a lot of air dielectric
with a spiraling plastic insert -- his .750 diameter cable,
while I use a lot of .500 foam dielectric), and the
quantity of connectors required.
Gilbert makes terrific stuff. But, just between you and me,
though no adapters are available elsewhere (Gilbert is the
only source I ever found), Production Products Company (PPC)
also makes an excellent CATV hardline connector with
stinger, and may be less expensive. PPC, One Mezzy Lane,
Manlius, NY 13104, 315/682-2031, 1-800/468-2288, FAX
315/682-2386 (DON'T say I sent you.)
Now, here's the rub. These vendors sell to the industry, on
account. I think that they want you to call and order 300
connectors at a crack, though Gilbert knows that you only
need a few adapters.
Using this method, don't be surprised if you wind up
spending over $22 an end, including shipping (they are heavy
connectors).
NO - NO - NO. I will not order them for you. Find a friend
who works for a cable operator. Most readers of the contest
reflector are in engineering and know how to get commercial
vendors to accept your money. (Here's a hint, try cash in
advance.)
After receiving the stingers and adapters, get someone to
loan you the necessary tools (as you may not own a coring
tool), and show you how to cut aluminum outer shield without
crimping it toward the center conductor. Then go read up on
how to keep connectors watertight outdoors, as you do not
want water to migrate inside the cable.
Good luck.
