Re: kiss connectors, lrc


First I would not recommend LRC fittings. I am currently on a project and the total job consists of replacing all the failing LRC fittings with Gilbert.
As for the GS-KS-KS-FS Female splice adapter ( AKA Kiss Fitting)
I don't recommend these. I have had to replace all of these in another system.Return suck-outs' and shorting out have been a problem in the past. Corning-Gilbert has redesigned them as one of the main problems were the teeth on the inside spreading out, but I still would not advise using them.
A much better chioce would be Motorola's FFT PBA-4/A or (PBA) for short.
Your block splices will also cause reflections and this is a much better way to go when joining 2 different sizes of cable.
It's basically a tap with no RF ports.
Hope that Helps(smile)
