Heavy Duty RF Connector type

I had been hunting down the connectors for the sockets on the back of my TEL80 (same as those on FuKW78) and tracked some down at Radio event. In case you need them for whatever purpose (Making replacement cables for original,TV / Ham aerial connection?) then they are DIN 7 16 (sometimes 7-16 or 7/16) connectors and are commonly used at Mobile Phone base stations. In fact i managed to pick up some ridiculously huge patch cables that fit which are off some very high power equipment.

Huber and Suhner make the connectors http://www.hubersuhner.com/mozilla/hs-p ... eries-7_16

as do Amphenol.
Just though i'd share that as it took a while to identify! :D

additional....if you are confused by the 7/16 name as i was....(i thought it was an imperial size = 7/16s of an inch) then i have found the explanation. 16mm outer, 7 mm inner...easy!
