Re: Which cable connectors
Look for BNC connectors for RG-8X, which is the code for the mini type - but I've not seen this size in any of my popular sites in the gland types, only crimp ons.
Personally, I'd not use this cable, simply because it's non-standard, so therefore less choice on terminating it. PL259 plugs designed to screw onto RG-58 will fit this cable as the thread squeezes and cuts in, but BNCs are more precise in their cable sizes.
