[TowerTalk] Question about Andrew Hardline and Connectors

[Ray Benny]

I recently acquired two 100ft rolls of Andrew 3/4" hardline that I will be
using soon. One is LDF5-50, the other is LDF5-50A. I have searched the Web
for rating of this coax and the types of connectors needed, but the info I
am finding is spread out all over the place. Commscope, I think, has bought
out Andrew so their coax and connectors have different part numbers. Same
with connectors. Does anyone have a web site that shows the different coax
and connectors?

First question, what is the difference between the LDF5-50 and LDF5-50A?

Second question, one roll has L45U connectors, the other nothing. I'm not
much into VHF hardline but It seems that the male L45U connector is not a
'N' type connector. What is it?

I see many hardline connectors on eBay but I need to know which is which
before I buy.

Tnx for your help.
