No. The plating is so thin, that at UHF frequencies, the skin depth is less than the plating depth. If you want good RF conductivity, get silver plated connectors. But given that the center pin on an F connector is the bare copper center conductor of the cable, I don't think I'd bother. If we were talking BNCs or something plating might make sense. |
