How to extend a coax cable ?

dogs best friend · 2004-11-30T22:54:47+00:00

Sounds simple, maybe I'm just trying to make hard work for myself.I need to extend a coax cable by about 20m.The cable is RG-213/U. By what I have gathered from google this is favouredby radio hams although my app is different.To make life easier, the cable that I need to extend has really oddball endfittings which are of the crimped on (non-removable) type with screw-onterminations. Just to make it interesting these fittings are left handthread and I think they could be Outer Mongolian Gas Thread.I can find the cable required to make the extension but cannot find anysuitable hardware to join a middle bit to the 2 ends.The whole has to be weatherproof but I can do this with suitable enclosuresif req'd.Any ideas please.DBF
