Default Looking for the right connector

Hi Ken

Yes stay away from RCA and headphone plugs, for exactly the reason you
mentioned.

I'd recommend SMA plugs and sockets, They are in pretty standard use up
to about 12GHz. Make sure you terminate them properly or have some
cables made up.

I'd also be careful using that thin coax over any kind of distance. The
losses will really mount up!

Cheers Bob
