[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1149112, member: 176704"] Frankly I do not, and would not use, those except in "exceptional" circumstances because, [I]based on actual experience[/I]: - the internal 90 deg "bend" is often only a "touching" joint betwen the cores coming out of each of the F-connector joints, and that joint easily becomes disconnected; - any 90 deg "bend" in any VHF, UHF or higher frequency signal path is to be depricated as it generally causes notable signal strength loss and reflections; - I only used them on very easily accessible patch cables that could be easily replaced if there was a "problem" - which there often was; - for the above reason, I have not, and would not, use them on motor or dish connections, as tracking down random faults outdoors will alway be more difficult and time-consuming.
