content: HiI wonder whether anyone has an embarrassment of 50 Ohm BNC connectorage cluttering up their lab? I only have one cable in the whole place, and that's 75 OhmI'm looking for a few assorted cables, tee pieces, terminating resistors. A 'feed through' terminating resistor?When I think of the countless quantities of this stuff I've binned at work, after the death of thin ethernet, it makes me quite ill.Anyway, anyone inclined to put together a 'starter kit'? Name your price.CheersJohn

content: I'll second this request. This stuff can be obnoxiously expensive new, surely some of you have a load of it just doing nothing?

content: I repurposed a lot of the cabling for CCTV though. Cannot remember what I did with the big pile of t connectors and terminators though, I must have them in a box somewhere. I did use the hubs as cases though, after ripping out the insides. One is a little power supply and the other is doing sterling service as a ballast box for my uplighter when I converted from linear halogen to metal halide.

content: Look on Ebay. Lots of Chinese sellers that sell all kinds of RF connectors, converters, etc for very little money and no shipping costs.

content: I still have a load of 10Base2 bits I salvaged yonks ago, but it mostly consists of T-connectors and cables which are too long to be much use in the lab.If anyone in the UK wants a few T-connectors, let me know and you can have some gratis.A contribution towards postage or maybe some random small electronic junk in exchange would be nice, but not essential.

content: If you can throw in some cables (I have no issues reterminating), I think we can arrange something. Not sure what I've got in the way of goodies unless you're after a DVB-T tuner.

content: Monkeh,Now that the weather is a little cooler I have delved into the loft and turned up the cables.I believe they are 50ft long, so they are heavy - about 600g each. How many were you after? And how many T-connectors?

content: rfsupplier in ebay provides many type of bnc/sma/n all kind of connectors/cable/adapter and "pig tails". the no fun part is they are elcheapo quality, the fun part, mostly the rf part you (i) want to find are in there. YMMV ps: type "bnc connector" etc in ebay and look for this ebay seller ID.
