It's doubtful that 4.3-10 will ever be popular for larger cables,
because large diameter feedlines in the cellular industry are no longer
being installed. It's all Remote Radios behind the antennas, and short
1/2" jumpers.
So be happy with N or 7-16 for your main lines. I recommend 7-16 of course.

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 span is getting
so short -down to few years according some report - so we will have lot
of dismounted stuff soon ;)
The question is if they get popular for other cables than 1/2 and we get
right price there.

Hello Arunas,
While the relatively new 4.3-10 family of "mini DIN" connectors is
far superior to any connectors we've discussed in this thread, their
cost is nearly ten times higher.
On the other hand, the much bulkier 7/16 DIN connectors offer
similar high performance and they're widely available at much
more affordable prices. For example, do this Google search
7/16 DIN connector site:ebay.com
