[TowerTalk] Question about Andrew Hardline and Connectors

[David Gilbert]

I did a bit of searching on the FHJ5 series and found this bit of 
information ... http://lists.contesting.com/_towertalk/1998-09/msg00531.html

That sounds like pretty old cable indeed, and I suspect that approved 
connectors for the spiral version would be very hard to find.
