Especially when you can find them lying on the sidewalk.

Some years back, I came upon a pile of junk on the sidewalk, waiting for
the garbage truck. I poke around, and find a near endless number of BNC
connectors. I grab some, then continue on my way. Coming back, the
rest were still there so I grabbed all of them. QUite a weight once
accumulated.

There were a few hundred BNC connectors.

I wonder if this was at the time when networks were moving from coax to
UTP? I still have a wonderful collection of BNC patch leads which were
surplus when my company switched over.

Including some 50 ohm terminators that are far too small to be any good as a
dummy load?
