Jumper Cables For Electrines

[CanesFan95]

Anyone using one of these Electrline TV splitter amps? I've got a 4-one but they're all f connectors. So where do we find jumper cables without having to jerry-rig lossy adapters? Like, I need a little 4-foot coax run that has a female F connector on one end and a male BNC on the other. Anyone know where to find this?

If you have the 4 foot jumpers with f connectors you could cut one end and install compression BNC connectors. Lowe’s has them and the tool to use them.

Yeah, that's your best shot.
Home Depot has them also. Get some RG-6, some F connectors, BNC connectors and the compression tool. Make your own in the exact length you need. No point in paying someone else to do it when it's cheap to roll your own.

Great idea, never knew about this. I meant to say F male. Can this also be done for SMAs to hook up dongles?

I've never seen SMA connectors that will attach the the F or BNC connectors do to RG-6. I've always had to crimp/solder them.

Well, a jumper with a male F on one end and a male SMA on the other would allow for hooking up USB dongles to the Electrline with no adapters. So hopefully an SMA male can be put on RG-6?

It looks like the tools I'll need are:

Compression Tool.
Crimping Tool.
Coax Stripping Tool.

And it would be nice to find too,s that can do a lot of sizes like everything up to LMR-400.

Get yourself a set of Greenlee crimpers, you can find die for almost everything you need crimped.

You can get crimp on SMA's for RG-6 (center pin requires soldering).
