I finally got the cables/caps/etc in the mail, today. I noticed, however, that the BNC terminators come in three parts: + The cap + A metal cylinder of some sort + The pin that functions as the male part of a BNC connector The item(s) can be seen in this photograph, in the lower center. http://www.pacificcable.com/photos/BNC.jpg There are no instructions on how to put this together. If I drop in the pin through the center of the Cap, it doesn't lock. If it tips, the pin will just fall back out. As far as the metal cylinder? I have no idea what it's supposed to do. It doesn't *fit* anywhere that I can tell. These are 50 ohm terminators. Don http://www.7f.no-ip.com/~north_ Debug period. --upas-rzitnocpzxepjjstvdmwcopfof--
