Hi Group,

Many thanks for the input with the open and shorted transmission lines.

On another subject, F-connectors are used for just about everything video, with
RG-59 being 75 ohms is the F-connector designed for 75-ohms or can I use this
type of connector with 50 ohm systems?

Hi OM,

It would seem to me that the connector is in large part simply a
connecting shell where the line itself does the chore of mating to a
rather unsubstantial socket. Undoubtedly these things are intended
for low power, low physical demand applications. I suppose you could
force-fit them to rg58, or just use RCA connectors and skip the
tedious threading.
