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.

When we first met them in the '60s, they were known as a "B***** Nasty
Connector"

As a prentice in '68, one of our learning tasks was how to put them on
seriously braided cable...
