Methinks you've never used an SMA before, if you really believe that.
They're about the easiest connector to mate, blind, with absolutely no
visual guidance whatsoever. We mated them all the time when we cudn't see
even the cables to which they were attached. They're as easy to mate as
BNCs, ya just gotta screw em in more times.
