TRU is a connector manufacturer. They are owned by Winchester which owns Kings
and a few others. Sounds like a splice connector for "750" (0.750" OD) 75 ohm
trunk cable. Nowadays, those splice connectors are almost always aluminum to
avoid dissimilar metal issues with respect to the aluminum shield on the cable,
with Gilbert (Corning) being a popular manufacturer. Google something like
"GRS-750-SP" to see if that looks vaguely the same as what you have.
