I found some references to the non-A series by looking at connector box
labeling.
For example the L5TNM-PS connector had the -50 part number listed.
Searching again for box tabs on what looked to be newer boxes showed the
same L5TNM-PS listed as "-50A only". I would guess that leaving the
connector part number unchanged for a fundamentally incompatible coax set
would create a massive mess for the installer base at the time.
So at this point I am guessing that dimensionally the -50 and the -50A are
the same in that they can use the same connectors. The differences in
the -50A and -50 probably reflects a material content or manufacturing
method difference. Until I can dig up a datasheet for the -50, won't know
for sure.
In any event I'm going to try as John is suggesting - to use one of the L5
series connectors marked for the -50A to see if it actually works.

I never heard of plain LDF5-50. If the cable is good and you cannot find any
information on it, why not try a LDF5-50A connector and see if it makes good
physical contact?

I have some LDF5-50 (not the newer -50A) and am trying to determine what
connector would fit that.
Everything I can find refers only to the -50A version and not the older -50
version.
I have used the AL5DF-PS on some AVA5-50 and it was really easy to put on.
I
was hoping that the LDF5-50, LDF5-50A and AVA5-50 were all dimensionally the
same and could use the same connectors but have no idea if that's the actual
case.
