[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Good quality (NOT DIY) inexpensive Hard line connectors

[n1rr at comcast.net]

I didnt say anything about impedence..... I assume it will all be 75 ohm until I connectorize it and test it. 
This is all older cable from mid to late 1990's before any of the ones you mention or any current products were ever manufactured.

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.
