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. -- Roy Smith, {allegra,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016

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. ==> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York <== ==> UUCP {decvax|dual|rocksanne|rocksvax|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry <== ==> VOICE 716/741-9185 {rice|shell}!baylor!/ <== ==> FAX 716/741-9635 {G1, G2, G3 modes} duke!ethos!/ <== ==> seismo!/ <== ==> "Have you hugged your cat today?" ihnp4!/ <==
