1-5/8" has never been used to connect directly to a jackfield, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. Large feedlines always transition to a 1/2" or smaller jumper when connecting to a multiport radio or antenna.

4.3-10 connectors for 1 5/8" cable are available (male as well).

Bit of a circular argument I guess. If 1-5/8" cable was still being
installed at cell sites, there would be 4.3-10 connectors for it, just
like there were N connectors for it.

As far as *jumpers*, which are 1/2" and smaller, connector choice is
driven by jackfield density.
