Build Your Cables; PL Connectors, BNC Connectors, Anderson Power Poles

Join us for this month's Radio Labs session, where we’ll be diving into the art of making coax and power patch cables. This hands-on workshop will cover:

PL Connectors
BNC Connectors
Anderson Power Poles

Why Should You make your own connectors?

Buying pre-made connectors or specialized cables can be costly, especially when you're looking for high-quality or rare types. By learning to make your own, you not only save money—particularly when you need multiple connectors or custom lengths—but also gain valuable skills. You'll develop expertise in soldering, crimping, and understanding electrical connections, which are crucial for troubleshooting and repairs. Plus, when you craft your own connectors, you can ensure that the materials and workmanship meet your standards, resulting in more reliable, long-lasting connections.
