Yep..making your own is the way to go. That way, you are assured of the quality. Just make sure that you use compression fittings on your coax! Smile

You mean the "twist-on" connectors don't work good? Smile

lol....I can't beleive they still make those pieces of crap:)

But the hex-crimp connectors aren't very good, either. The small amount of pressure that they put on the cable actually causes problems with impedence at high frequencies.

Interesting. I've never had an issue with crimp connectors. What frequency range are you dealing with?

0-2000 mhz.

The signal doesn't degrade much below 500 mhz. And even above 500 mhz, the signal doesn't degrade much when it is strictly an analog signal. When you throw digital into the equation, especially given how much the signal is compressed nowadays, you start losing packets above 500 mhz, and it gets worse as you get higher.

It doesn't happen with every hex-crimp connector, mind you. I'd say it happens with about one out of every ten you run into no matter how well it was put on, and it can really leave you scratching your head if you don't understand the way the signal flows through the center conductor (and why a damaged cable, even if it's only slightly scrunched, can impede that flow).
