These myths of such high losses in connectors are plastered all over the
internet. It's one of the most common myths in amateur radio for example.
People are always claiming there's a 1 db loss per connector even at hf
frequencies when in fact it ranges from .005 at 3Mhz to .007 at 30Mhz.

Really? I don't remember where I got that 1 dB figure, I think I got it
when I was installing 2.4GHz wireless systems. Or was the old Thicknet
network wiring? Boy was Thicknet a plumber's nightmare to work with.
