Commercial Plenum install cable/connector question

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

 

I need to do a couple of plenum runs and need to match siamese cable to connectors.

 

I see that Markertek has west penn cable by the foot http://www.markertek.com/Cables-Connectors-Adapters/Bulk-Wire-Cable/Bulk-Audio-Video-Cable/West-Penn-Wire-Corp/252815.xhtml?WP-252815/P.

 

What connectors would go with this cable?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. Would anyone be interested in doing a couple of custom sized plenum cables?

I've used standard GEM Electronics crimp-on BNCs with plenum RG59 - the trick is not stripping off the outer jacket, so it adds some thickness when you slip the BNC's inner "tunnel" under the braid.

 

Other than that, most connector manufacturers do make versions specifically for plenum/FT6 cable... just gotta check the specs or part numbers.

 

GEM makes a "universal" BNC that comes with three different size ferrules... http://gemelec.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=32&category_id=17&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
