Jumper cable /pigtail

[jazzboypro]

Hello all,

I have a length of LMR-400 that i want to use. The cable has a PL-259 (male) at each end. There is no problem at the antenna end but i would like to avoid connecting the other end directly to my duplexer. I am looking for a short jumper cable/pigtail with a uhf male connector at 1 end and a uhf female connector at the other. I saw one on amazon but it is much too long for my need. Do any of you know where i could find such a cable or do you have a suggestion of what else i could do ?

Thanks

Why not attach directly to the duplexer? LMR400 is stiff, but the duplexer connector should be as robust as the one on the antenna.

Try ABR Industries (abrind.com) they will make custom cables to any length with whatever connectors you chose.
Their cable and connectors are high quality and their service is excellent!
I have purchased lots of coax from them!

Yes i could, but if possible i would like to avoid putting to much stress on the duplexer's connector.

Unfortunately they don't seem to ship outside the USA, i sent them an email to make sure, but when checking out there is no option to select a country.

I get all my pigtails from wi-fi experts or cables online both on eBay.

Duplexer as in a repeater or a diplexer for two different band antennas?

I have several diplexers and a triplexer in use here with LMR400 and 1/2" Heliax connected right to them. No problem.

Sorry, i meant diplexer
