I don't know how to attach PL-259 connectors to RG-6. To attach them to
RG-58, you need an adapter that matches the outer diameter of the cable to the inner diameter of the connector. Since the PL-259 is so commonly used with radio equipment, I suggest you keep them and learn about attaching them to RG-58 and RG-8 cables. ==================== There are also PL259 connectors with internal thread to suit RG58 coax directly . For fitting coax strip a short length of sheath ,fold braid back over sheath ,strip polyethylene to say 1mm from braid end ,screw coax end covered with braid into connector ,solder centre conductor to connector tip. I prefer this type of connector over a PL259 for 10mm (3/8inch) coax with a screwed adaptor. I use RG58 coax for short patch leads only. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
