I also have a lot of RG-59 cables with 50 ohm BNC connectors. That's
probably more common, since 50 ohm connectors are much more common, and
the connector choice won't make any practical difference in the vast
majority of applications.

Well, we will see in a couple of weeks what I get. I broke down and bought
a set consisting of a BNC crimping tool, a wire stripper and 50 rg-59
BNC plugs from an eBay store.

They did not have any rg-6 plugs, so I'm hoping that the RG6-QS I've got
works.

It's the heavy duty kind that looks like a heavy duty side crimp tool, except
that the wire goes in the top and the plug is pushed together from the handle
end (bottom).

I'll report back.

Thanks for all the help and support so far.

Geoff.

What's the item number? I'll check if you bought the correct
connectors for RG-6a/u QS coax.

Though to be honest, if they are not the correct ones, I'll still probably
use them anyway.
