[time-nuts] Source for DC-blocking 50-ohm terminators? (Spectracom 8140)

[Taka Kamiya]

I had the same issue looking for a DC blocking 50ohm terminator.  They simply do not exist.  So I just made one.  Took a BNC male connector with a chassis mount flange.  50ohm and 0.015 microfarad capacitor in series.  (because that's what I had on my desk at the time)  The frequency is low enough, level is high enough, and some reflections are not going to cause any issues.  It has been working for me for quite some time.

 I'm looking at using a Spectracom 8140 for 10Mhz distribution, and they
specify using a DC-blocking 50-ohm terminator on each run.

These seem to be odd enough that none of my usual sources have them
(75-ohm DC-blocking terminators yes, 50-ohm, no).

While it's easy enough to chain a DC block and a terminator, I'd prefer
a single module I can more obviously label as the line termination.
