Hi Alan, Digicon's pinless F-connectors are well regarded. Similar robust models from reputable makers are likely as good, I would guess. The problem is that no matter how excellent a pinless design may be, it only pays attention to the braided shield termination (and weather proofing), and ignores the bare center conductor issue. Read the PennWell article. Installers want the ease of a one piece connector design and that's why a pinless design is still in use (it makes as much sense as a pinless rca connector, IMHO). When I replaced my ISP's copper clad steel coaxial cable terminated with pinless F-connectors with an all-copper coaxial cable terminated with F-connectors with an integral central pin, my broadband DL speed went from 1.1 megabits per second (good) to 1.8 megabits per second (great). CATV audio also sounds far better when the same swap is done with a SPC/Teflon coax cable terminated with F-connectors with an integral central pin (betterment of audio quality much more notable than video quality). Even the short RF jumper cable located on the back of my digital CATV box has been upgraded to great effect.
