Re: Quick Connect/Release Coax Connectors

Or:
A more complicated but geeky option is the XRJAX found at Cyberguys.com.

When lightening is around, I disconnect my desk-top from the power

Is there a quick release connector that will work reliably with a PC?
Also needs to be quick and easy reconnect, otherwise my wife will get
frustrated.

Thanks, Sam

(Last Friday a friend has his cable modem fried by lightening. It
also took out his Ethernet card, which happened to be on the mother
board. Fortunately, he had a next business day service contract and
Dell was sending someone out with a soldering iron, but the long
weekend kept him of the internet for a while.)
Yes they do sell quick disconnect cable connectors. I believe I got
mine at Radio Shack. Although for about $100, you can buy a CyberPower
UPS which protects cable, telephone, and power. And they guarantee it
for like up to $250,000 or something. So leave everything plugged in
and nothing to worry about. And if the power goes out, your computer
and cable will still be working for a time.

I have a decent APC UPS and I run the cable through that, but I'm still
somewhat fearful of a lightening strike.

I'll have to take a field trip to Radio Shack--tthogh they've changed
over the last few years and sell far fewer speciality items.

Thanks, Sam
These are not special items. They are near the cable adapters and coax.
If your store follows the standard plan-o-gram it will be in the back of
the store usually on the right side.

Ask for: Model: 278-291 / Catalog #: 278-291
It's called a "Screw-On to Push-On "F" Connector Adapter "
