Gordon,

Here are two useful Andrew Heliax connector installation instructions:

You can purchase replacement parts from RF Connection in Gaithersburg, MD.  The most common parts needing replacement in a used connector are
the soldered pin (in the older style connectors) and the gaskets.

>I have a nice quantity of each of these Andrew cables and a number of really short jumper cables that I would like to us as source material for connectors that could be used on the longer lengths of hardline.
>My questions are:
>1. Is there anything special that I should consider when removing the connectors?
>2. Is there anything that I need to replace when recycling the connectors?
>3. Differences in the handling (other than flex) between the LDF4-50 and the FSJ4-50?
>4. Does anyone have a pointer to a step-by-step process for installing N and UHF connectors (male and female) on these cables?
