Wall mount SO-239 connectors?


 

Anyone know where to find SO-239 connectors with a wall plate mount? Im looking to install a antenna lead through the exterior wall into the house and need some sort of wall plate for the SO-239 to make it look semi-professional and not just a hole in the wall.

Ron,
Might look at Amazon if you can wait. Saw this one;

I am building a Go-Box for one of my HF system and picked up this package;
And these;

Hello Ron,

You may want to consider using the long threaded barrel connectors instead.? They work very well and no soldering on the SO-239 needed.? They come in almost any length you need.? Just put a face plate on both sides and you are good to go, and it looks professionally done.

Ron:

??? There used to be several SO-239 type feedthrus (i.e., long barrel connectors) available from 4-8 inches. I have not seen them advertised (except EBay) in ages.

??? But here is another technique, maybe give you an idea.

??? ???

??? A rapid search turned up this also, but only 2" long..

??? ???


??? Good luck.

Mine go through a piece of sewer pipe so no connector needed. Also leaves room for another cable for your next Antenna. ?I have six coax cables and a rotator cabe. ?Tower Electronics in Wisconsin sells pl259 barrels up to 12 inches long. ?No Mount needed just drill. 5/8 inch hole and put a nut on each end inside and outside.

So, best recommendation?is to get a blank wall plate, drill a hole for the SO-239 and use a long barrel connector? The outside could be a junction box, it's the inside im more worried about. Needs to look good for the wife.

Tom,

It's all about visuals these days. Always include a link. People will click on links all day long but usally only skim text.

Thanks for your input.
