I have a length of the older SOLID CENTER CONDUCTOR 7/8” hardline and need one connector. I am not particular about the gender but an
“N” female would be most useful. If one is available please contact me off list with your price including shipping to 34221. I would like to have this mid week next week if possible. If you do not HAVE a connector but know what MODEL NUMBER this type is, it
might also be helpful. The cable is NOT the very old SPIRAL type but is the concentric circle type solid center. Thanks in advance.

Nope…that center pin screws into the center conductor. The type I need would SOLDER onto the center from what I see. But, thanks.? - Mike

7/8 inch with solid center conductor is likely Celwave cable, not Andrew....I never have seen Andrew with solid center.....I guess its possible but the Celwave stuff Ive?used is solid and looks like Andrew on the outside...I have one connector here at the house if? you are interested...

I THINK It was sold under Prodelin but Celwave was also a seller....the connector is Hex shaped on the outside....the one I have is male N but a barrel is pretty tight on it making it a female N connection...

I interpreted your description a tad incorrect lol. Since Andrew never had a solid center in 7/8. I previously had a fella say he had 7/8 with a solder center but he didn’t know. ? Matt ?

Jeff, I assume you at least one of these connectors. What the cost shipped to FLA 34221? I have another length of 7/8” I am going to check to see if it has or needs connectors though I am not sure it is the same brand of cable. If so, I made need other connectors.

Hi
The 7/8” cable you have is probably Phelps Dodge with solid center and spiral outside. No soldering required.
We have a few used (cut off) connectors laying around, which I would offer FREE if you send me a UPS shipping address. (No PO Box)

Mike/Jeff
OK. So the cable you want to put a connector on is ANULAR, as opposed to SPIRAL, is that correct?
If so, I will change the 7/8” NF cutoff connector I was planning to send.
BTW The Spiral type connectors are really old, back to the 70’s.
The annular connectors for the solid center, slip on, will work with both Celewave and Andrew old type cable.
I never used Prodelin, so don’t know if they will work on that cable.
