[net.analog] Looking for N/BNC tee connector

roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith) (02/14/86)

	Does anybody know where I can get a coax tee fitting with female
N-style connections on the two straight arms and a female BNC on the side
arm?  I've searched the Gerber and Newark catalogs and came up empty.  The
ITT/Pomona salesman says it doesn't exist.  I feel betrayed; Pomona has
never let me down before.  The best I have come up with so far is a tee
with 3 female N's and an N-to-BNC adapter, but I'd rather not have the
extra connection.

	In case you're wondering, we want to run thick ethernet in the
ceiling with tee fittings every so often and RG-58 drops to Sun-3/50's all
over the place (with caps on the unused tees, and heat-shrink tubing over
the whole mess).  Keeping most of it thick (RG-62?) will give us about 3
times the allowable length and using thin drop cables will save about
$500/station in transceiver costs.

	Sorry, but as far as I know, the N-tee with N->BNC adapter is the
best you'll do.  For esoteric RF connectors you need to check the catalogs
of manufacturers such as Amphenol, Bendix, Cannon, etc., rather than rely
on a distributor catalog or upon a company like Pomona.  However, in this
case none of the above manufacturers offer such an adapter.
