Just that professional integrators (including us) use better quality connectors. Could I trouble you for a photo or part number for the crimp type F connectors that you are using? I want to see what I'm missing. I can't post an image to the list, and distributors websites require logins. It won't do you any good anyway - you won't find them on ebay and the link. Sale is restricted by the manufacturers to professionals. Ah, secret sauce. A secret connector manufacturer and model number obtainable only from a secret distributor. No doubt made exclusively for professionals. The secret manufacturer probably made you sign an NDA before he would sell you the connectors. He can't have unprofessional hams using his secret connectors. The unobtainium plating probably makes it difficult for you to take a photograph and post it. We know what is good and what is not. You don't need to tell us our job. That's the problem. You haven't said anything about what you do, what type of systems you work on, how you do it, what connectors you use, what tools you use, where you obtain them, and the relative merits of your system to those in use by Comcast and Charter. You offer nothing that can be used, except that everything that I've been doing is wrong, that every connector that I use is junk, and that everyone in your area uses secret connectors and has magic cutters that last nearly forever. You might know what is good for "professionals", but I have no clue what that might be. For me, questioning authority, trying something different, and testing assumptions is a learning experience. I'm doing a 10 year running experiment on the effectiveness of using 1" PTFE wrap over commodity RF connectors for waterproofing. I'm testing 75 ohm coax where 50 ohms is standard. I use F connectors in a ham radio environment for which they were never intended. I've designed and build some rather odd antennas. I question and verify conventional wisdom, claims, standards, test results, and specifications. I've made both big and small mistakes, irritated the experts, and occasionally inspired vendors into modifying their data sheets and claims. I look for new ideas that I can use (or steal) and had hoped that perhpas your secret F connector was in some way better than the common Snap-n-Seal connector. I'm disappointed. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
