Stridesburg Multicoupler Question

[nyair1]

Wonder what can be used on the Multicoupler extra connectors that are not in use currently? I know they used to have something on their Web page but i don't see it anymore. I was having a hard time getting on their page also. Not sure if it was the Internet or if they had problems?? Any ideas on what to put on the extra unused output connectors? Thanks

Are you asking about an Electrical Termination device?

Or, are you asking about a protective cap to keep dust/moisture out of those connectors?

You are probably thinking of this:

They are also available in 75 ohm, but in a receiving situation I doubt it would make much difference between 50 and 75 ohm.

I keep a terminator on the unused ports on my Stridesburg. Can't really prove if it helps or not, but I already had them so I use them.

Yes that is what I was talking about. I had seen them last year on the stridesburg site when I bought my Multicoupler but had forgot about ordering some. I don't see them on their site now?? Not sure if it makes a difference having them on or not? Don't know if it causes a signal loss not having the unused ends terminated? They do recommend them in the instructions with the coupler.
