Belden 1505a Interconnects

[Guest r.byatt]

Hi,

I am looking at re-cabling my system in Belden 1505a.

The thing is I can't justify the $9.00 each for the Canare RCA connectors because of the high number required.

I was wondering if anyone has used standard compression RCA connectors on this cable?

Regards Robert

I have used 1984 with RCA, BNC and FType compression fittings and haven't had a problem, takes a few to get a really professional result though.

The Belden 1505a is an RG59 cable. Hills Antenna Division sells compression RCA/BNC/F Type connectors from ICM for this cable & for the Belden 1694a (RG6 cable). There RCA's are half the price of the Canare RCA's.

They're also available at Jaycar for $4 in four different colours.

Thanks for your replies

I have organised a sample of the 1505a and intend to test some standard type RG59 compression connectors.

I will post what I find out

Hi mrplou,

Those exact ones or the RG59 equivalent? (My impression was that 1505a is a RG59 equivalent cable)
