Default Connecting Two RF Connectors in Metal Enclosure

In article ,
"John W" wrote:

Hello all,

I am trying to put a co-ax line through the wall of my shack. I purchased
two chassis mount N-type connectors a while ago, one for inside and one for
outside the shack. As you will know these connectors have a solderable
centre pin for the co-ax inner conductor and seem to rely on the chassis for
the outer connection.

My question is if I use a metal enclosure to mount these N connectors how do
I connect the centre pins together. Do I use co-ax with the braid
disconnected at both ends, or one end, or do I use wire, or just put the
chassis mount N-types to one side and buy some in-line N-types?

I am not too worried about the mechanics of putting the enclosure on the
wall.

Any help would be much appreciated.

They make a flanged coax connector for RG type cable. You can put two of
those back to back with enough coax to get you thru the wall. OR, You
can just have a 3" Pipe Nipple with screw on Deck Plates made long
enough to pass thru the wall, and then when you have run all your coax
lines thru it, fill the voids with spray foam..... done those, many
times..
