i am looking for rg6 coax cables with right angle adapters (in roughly 6ft length) - i have a monster one that i got from a friend for free a few years back, but i need additional ones. can someone point me in the right direction? tried monoprice to no avail. would rather avoid a 90 degree adaptor to reduce the number of interconnects (already have enough - cable in to splitter to wall plate to tv)

thanks!

Make your own?

I would avoid the pre-made right angle adapters if possible.
In my experience from an engineering perspective I have never found and tested any with good VSWR.

I cant speak for the ones recommended above!

If you avoid a "pre-made" 90 connector or adapter, what would be your recommendation? ;)

I would think a connector would be better than an adapter (I.E. Radio Shack).

At 6'... I don't think either solution would be that detrimental to signal loss IMO.

His comments addressed VSWR, not signal loss. The length of the cable has nothing to do with a connector's performance. Most people would be more than willing to lose an additional 0.3dB (1GHz) of signal for improved VSWR.

Go with a high performance adapter, and the return loss improves by almost 100%.

Great... any suggestions for the OP? ;)

Everyone wants to be the "alpha dog" without providing recommendations.

lol

thanks guys. i've no idea what VSWR is, or any of the other techie terms :eek:

went to radio shack, picked up a set of 2 gold-plated "elbows" and hooked them up. no perceptible change to my untrained eye, and it did what i wanted it to - reduce cable "bending" when it was coming out of the wall jacks.

so, now, what IS VSWR?

Enjoy! LOL!!!
