1° IP Table ( International Protection marking )
2° Various types of electrical plugs, for a quick identification.
3° RADIO : frequently used connectors and coaxial adapters
CONNECTORS : two types of fixation of the cable to the connector : to be soldered or to be crimped on the coax cable. Prefer the "to be soldered" type.

ADAPTATERS : from a PL/BNC/N to another or from MALE to FEMALE and vice versa.
PLfem <> BNCmale The opposite : PLfem <> PLfem Nmale <> PLfem.
BNCfem <> PLmale ( to connect two extensions
end to end for inst.)
The adapters hereunder allow for the connection of a coaxial input (BNC) or a SWRMeter to the antenna output of a 2-way radio.
If the coaxial input is PL (male) , you put two adapters one after the other : (PLfem /BNCmale ) then ( (BNCfem
