I’ve heard that
one rationale for the gold bathroom fixtures that gleam aboard many megayachts
is that they don’t need polishing. The same reasoning applies to
these new connectors and adaptors from Shakespeare and may save you more
than elbow grease. Gold’s extraordinary resistance to corrosion (and
excellent conductivity) makes it perfect for vulnerable contact points
in important communications cabling, like when you’re trying to get
the maximum range on your VHF or push a business call through your cabin-top
cell antenna with less than a watt of power. The new line includes fittings
for all sorts of cable types as well as gold-plated versions of Shakespeare’s
Centerpin connectors, a solderless alternative prized by do-it-yourselfers.
Prices start around $4.
