Show me some F connectors at a fraction of 16 pence please. :-) The
only place I find cheap F connectors is on the road after a Sky van
has
paid a visit.


eg.
http://www.connectorco.co.uk/catalogue/bnc.htm BNCs from 16 pence.
http://www.connectorco.co.uk/catalogue/coaxial.htm F plugs from 59
pence.


Strange pricing - way out of line with everyone else.
I paid 14p for screw on F-types in bulk from Rapid. 9p by the
thousand.
44p for BNCs.

Have you actually bought them at that price?


BNCs; yes, many hundreds, if not a thousand or so but not Fs. And only
with something else to spread the carriage costs. The company will take
phone orders as well as on-line and has never failed to provide next day
delivery. On the phone they will sometimes adjust the carriage cost to
suit small packages, depends who answers I think.

The cheap BNCs are sometimes bundled with boots too. The 16p ones are
better quality than Maplin's at nearly ten times the price, the only
problem I have found is that about one in 150 has a pin with too small a
hole bored in it. At that price just toss it away!

Their Neutrik phonos are very cheap too.
