That's pretty much how I've been doing it since f plugs came on the UK
scene.

I don't know how far back you are going, Bill, but the first
time I saw them was when they were used for the internet
connection on the early IBM PCs in the early 80s.

I don't recall any networking standard that used F connectors?

Early thin ethernet with BNC connectors on 50 ohm coax certainly


Yup. BNC was THE professional RF plug in the 70s.

F types I dont recall seeing before sattelite..but we had screw on coax
- big ones - for radar and microwaves
