hi

Just wondering a few things

I see the center pin on a typical N connector is pretty small

How much power could it hold at HF and also uhf/vhf
frequencies? Assuming a modern day high quality N connector??

The other thing i pondered is that it seems the don't make
Pl259/so239 connectors for hardline, so what do guys use typically
for
higher power DIN?



thanks

Hi ml
Can you find this site on the Internet?

Yes thanks for the site it's interesting and an ontopic post
but mostly not really connectors i'd use but the theories there
are relavant.

seems many have hi-jacked the thread with mostly off topic posts
regarding how to "water proof or attaching connectors etc"

Hi ML

I wonder if you saw the page 116 graph of
http://www.southwestmicrowave.com/mp...0for%20Coaxial
that shows the power handling capability of the N connector.

I think the connector can handle more power than the cable.

Hi Dave

I must have ,made a mistake when copying that link. This one shows me
that a N connector will handle over a KW average at frequencies "ML" is
considering.

Good for legal power to 2600 MHz. There ain't an RG8 cable made that'll
do near that. Maybe 7/8" "Heliax" style line.
