Default Radio Shack BNC 50 ohm terminator as Dummy Load

I saw this 50 ohm "terminator" BNC connector at Radio Shack today and
was wondering if it could be used as an antenna dummy load? It is
designed as a computer network terminator - just a female jack without
any output connector. I believe the only question would be "Could it
stand the power output?" What if the output was just 5W? Anybody know
about this product or have used it as a dummy load?

It'd sure save the price of a "real" dummy antenna (it was priced about
$4.00 USD).

Thanks
