Carl Concelman (December 23, 1912 – August 1975) was the electrical engineer who, while working for Amphenol, invented the C connector and teamed up with Paul Neill of Bell Labs to invent the BNC connector and TNC connector.

I am convinced that the only reason C (and HN) connectors exist is because some government contractor had a ne'er-do-well son-in-law that needed a job building these cursed items.  And because they are not common, you pay the price.

Why do UG-565 Type C to Type N adapters cost so much! The final output combiner on my Harris RF-1110B uses them on its input and the output of the rack frame are all type N plugs. Been using just one half of the amplifier, two panels and that comes out as a signal N connector on the back of the amplifier frame. But now that I am getting the other half of the amplifier up and running will need to connect the original external RF combiner network external of the amplifier and that has type C connectors. Don’t know what I did with the original cables but will have to have matching cables from each set of amplifiers and matching adapters to keep everything in phase. Have a couple adapters now for the output and rejection load.

Looked on eBay and it looks like they beat you down for at least twenty or thirty bucks per adapter! Plus shipping. Maybe I can con someone around here for less?

Wonder who’s idea it was to use C connectors anyway?
