Title: repairing a broken coax cable?
Post by: hzgone on August 25, 2004, 08:51:20 PM

I have a broken coax cable and would like to repair it with a right angle end on it.  This is possible correct?  When i took the end apart there a two wires in it one looks like a ground or negative on the ring and then the positive for the tip.  Is that correct.  If i can fix this does anyone know a part number for the right angle

So i got my right angle connector today soldered it up and it's still not working.  Not sure if it's just the cable or my soldering job.  Everything looks ok, but i'm not sure what is going on with it.

Have you checked the connectors / cable / your solder job for continuity (with a multimeter)?
