Planning deployment of an HP 58516A GPS 1x4 antenna splitter with the  external power option (option 05Q)  at our makerspace. Anyone know what the mating DC connector is? martin

Hi Yes I know, this is beating a dead horse ….. Since the HP splitter will knock out everything that is not right on top of GPS, are you sure you want to go that route? Yes it does depend a bit on the antenna. If it’s one of the telecom / narrowband gizmos then the splitter will not have much affect. I tend fo find that in a lab setting as broadband a feed as possible is a really good idea. You never really know what will pop up on the bench next.

It is an SMC connector.  Hard to find and expensive, but worth it to insure that the DC power to the splitter doesn't get accidentally hooked to a signal I/O. I've actually converted a non-ext DC 8 to 1 splitter to external DC.

Hi Bob, Antenna is a PCTEL GPS-TMG-HR-26NCM ( 26 dB gain) antenna that feeds a  Polyphaser 095-0927T-A protector using 1/2 Super-flex. The HP  095-0927T-A  would be downstream of the protector with about 100 feet of  additional super-flex.
