Re: want to learn about splicing

How can the cable even handle 1Ghz? I *THOUGHT* that with the center conductor being so small, that it wouldn't be able to handle the channels up to 1Ghz, especially the digital channels.

That frickin' blows my mind. And what blows it even more is they haven't upgraded their cable. For 1Ghz, .500 will work, but I'd like a minimum of .540 or .625 for something like that.

We did an upgrade last year from 550Mhz to 1Ghz, and it was a lot of .840 and .565. There was also some .500P1 cable, that the system just said, "Just use a P3 connector." We got it in writing and did. Now, we did a lot of span replacements during the project, but even more after the sweepers came in!
It was then that Caroline remembered her kitchen back in Montana, with a stove that she might or might not have turned off, and so with a heavy sigh, she put down the penguin.
