What is the Part Number of this bulkhead connector?  I'm a little confused as to what the connector type is.  Is the opposite end as shown in your picture a "N" female?  The pin soldered to the coax looks to be for a type N, however, since I have none to compare it with, then it maybe also be a Type "C".   A picture would surely clarify.
