Frequently Asked Questions
What cable types fit the Amphenol 36800-S?
This jack is dimensioned for coaxial cable with a nominal 0.195-inch outer diameter, including RG-58, RG-58A, RG-58C, RG-141, and LMR-195.
What tools are required to assemble this connector?
Assembly requires standard coaxial cable stripping tools and a hex crimp tool sized for RG-58 ferrule and center pin dimensions.
Is this an in-line cable jack or a bulkhead mount connector?
This is a free-hanging in-line cable jack designed to attach directly onto coaxial cable rather than mount through an instrument panel or chassis bulkhead.
There is a quiet satisfaction in assembling an RF cable with genuine silver-plated brass and PTFE instead of mystery metal. Crimp it down clean and let the signal run.
