Flexible patch leads

Post by M0NDE » Wed Sep 06, 2023 2:22 pm

I am building the Portsdown.

I had my Pi, Minitiouner, Bias-T, Two to One splitter, DC blocker etc floating on the bench. I have prototyped up a sloping fronted enclosure with the Pi screen at a convienient angle. My current patchleads made from standard F connectors and standard satellite cable are impractical for wiring up inside the enclosure. I have come across more flexible blue cable from Maxview.

Seeking ideas for sourcing flexible cable for use with F connectors inside my enclosure please?

Thanks

Nigel

Ditch the F connectors.

Use an SMA to F adapter and then you have all sorts of options open to you with thin RG316 type cable and SMA connectors.
