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.
