Are you sure you have 50 ohm coax? The CATV distribution rems are 75 ohm. Cable Z is the starting point for your research.

Some of the surplus around 0.5" od is SFX500 (bare), IF it is 50 ohm. The connectors are readily available new, check ebay for N & 7/16 DIN. UHF are really rare.

Power rating for SFX500 is 5KW to 30MHz and that's the baby size of what you have.

Non-corrugated / annular / smooth wall, some has jacket and some does not.
What manufacturers & part numbers apply to this 1997 to 1999 vintage cable for 
use with UHF or Type-N ?

I'm looking for connector product details that are not DIY. I dont want to deal 
with the
unreliability of using dissimilar metals such as copper reducers and other 
components.

I have some parts from these. It seems that the 2-piece types will fit the .875", .75", 
.625" and .500" hardline.
What are the secrets behind utilizing UHF or Type-N adapters with them s ince they 
use a thread of 5/8" x 24 thread ?
Which of the know series ( K-Series, X-Series) is suitable for 1500watts output 
?
I see .072" pins and also .167 pins. They are both rated to 20Amp @ 4kV.
