Tony,

I just took a piece of ½” Superflex that previously had a connector on it
and tried to place a PL259 UHF MALE  on it. The corrugation on the superflex
is larger than the ID of the connector. The connector will go over the
center dielectric but the copper corrugation on the superflex is slightly
larger than the outside of the UHF Male. The only way I can see it may be
possible to join the connector to the cable would be to have a sleeve extend
over the superflex and the outside of the UHF connector and then solder the
sleeve. This might not be as good of an idea as getting proper connectors
that fit the superflex like the N Male and use an adapter to get to UHF. 


 


Good Luck  JIM  KA2AJH

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Connectors for 1/2 Andrew Superflex

 

  

Hello Everyone,
I need to make some short jumpers UHF-male to UHF-male and have a 
length of 1/2 Andrew Superflex on order (actually eBay). Can I use 
regular silver-teflon PL259's with this cable, similar to how 1/4" 
superflex is used with the reducer? I can't find UHF Male connectors for 
1/2" superflex at Tessco.

Thanks,
Tony
