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 Hello, and I've got a whole box of these in my networking lab (from the old 10Base2 days). A terminator certainly could be used as a dummy load but I would probably keep the average RF power delivered it under 1 W. Not sure how useful that would be even for a QRP setup.
