Hi Frank, 4.3-10 can't be so expensive if compare new to new. E.g. 7/16 to 4.3-10 "brand" adapter bulk price is 10-15% higher than N to 7/16, also price of few meters prefabricated "jumper cables" with 4.3-10 vs 7/16 differs in 10-15%. I hope it revers soon as and also cellular antenna life spa

Hello, I used not shielded CAT6 UTP, 24AWG, Greg measured also not shielded but CAT5 UTP. Impedance is 100 Ohm according all CAT5/6/7 specifications. Simple 4 : 3 transformers (or better to say BalUns in this case) on our "usual" mix 73 binocles were used on every pair. I think good for both 50 a

Topband: CAT5 cable as feeder for reversable Beverage

2011-04-14 Thread Arunas LY2IJ
Hi, Is it worth trying to use outdoor CAT5 to feed reversible Beverage? There are 4 twisted pairs inside, paralleling 2 for both directions will give something close to 50 or 75 ohms. Any idea what is coupling between pairs? Any other risks? 73 Arunas LY2IJ
