are not too bad. If you could handle the connection of the noncopper
shield that most of the cable TV 70 ohm rg-6 has, that would probably be
your best bet. Don't even go to the real high grade of the quad shielded
stuff.


In this part of the world, some types of quad shield, and even some
types of the dual sheild have one of the braids made from tinned
copper and are solderable, check out the specs or get a sample and
test it.

Additionally, crimp BNC(M) connectors, F(M) connectors and F(F)-BNC(M)
adapters are available.
