Andrew C Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Does anyone know what type of connector Sure fit to the LX4 receiver? I think it is an "N" type, but it might be a PL259, but I don't know what the difference is! All I want to do is rack mount the box, so I need to get the aerials around the front... (If anyone wants to look at the connectors, and how similar they look, the Canford catalogue pg 102 shows both) Oh, and the instruction book/web site is no help, I've tried that!

Lamplighter Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Andrew N connector the centre pin is just slighlty thicker than a paper clip wire, a PL259 is approx 4mm diameter. The male N connector has a circular shield the sme size as a BNC. The PL259 Male has 2 teeth on the outer rim which engage in the notched rim of the female, whereas the N connector is smooth. I hope this helps. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew C Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Look at the WA501 kit.Ahh, but I've been asked to change a Sure to a Trantec system. (Don't ask!)I hope this helps.Indeed it does!They are PL259.Just what I needed. TVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamplighter Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Andrew Just to complicate matters Trantec normally use TNC connectors, these are similar in size to BNC ( slightly larger) but use a screw locking ring like the much larger N type.

Andrew C Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks for that; it's not a problem however. I have bodged an old Trantec with fixed aerials into a 1u box, and now need to connect it to installed separate aerials from the old Sure system.
