Re: [TowerTalk] Topband: RG-6 Delay cables

[Steve Maki <lists@oakcom.org>]

Any connector with a captured (non-solder) center pin will accomplish 
this, such as the Times EZ series (EZ-400-NM, etc) or many of the 
corrugated hardline connectors. As long as the connector was not 
installed in cold weather with the center conductor pushed in as far as 
it will go. If the cable is prepped according to the instructions, that 
won't happen.
