Microvaxen bits etc.

< I have to agree here. F connectors may be electrically nice (they offer < much cleaner connection Z-wise), but for human factors, the things plai < suck. They are way too easy to crossthread. BNCs are just about the < easiest coax connector to install (except for the old WECo types, but th < do not secure), and they work just fine at 10 Mbps. BNC is a UHF constant impedence connector. They work very well at several GHz! They just don't like high RF power (voltage). < Also, I have never seen an F connector "T". BNC "T"s are quite common. < Using existing parts is always better than inventing new ones. When BNC started to be used for Eithernet, Ts were expensive and got cheap due to volume. F connectors are common to cable industry and if they needed Ts they would be cheap too. Cat5 wire is cheaper though but I wouldn't use them around receivers or transmitters! Allison
