Product Description

6-Pack

Glazed Ceramic Center/End Insulator from MFJ

Even at full legal power, it will not break with long antennas, arc over, or melt. Molded ridges provide an extra long path for high voltage breakdown prevention.

Wire damage can be avoided by using smooth wire holes.

Diples, doublets, G5VRs, guy wire, and vees can all benefit from the 16C06s as a center or end insulator.

Good ceramic insulators, only problem is the picture showed green but I received white

I'm hoping these will work in my case

4/5

I'm not sure how I feel about the MFJ stuff. I've possessed it long enough. These were purchased for a parallel fan dipole build, and I chose this style in the hopes of avoiding coupling with the wet mastrant rope. br>br>I got mine from Gigaparts. It's good to know that gigahertz shipping costs can be avoided.

Insulator made of dog bones

5/5

This is a good product that appears to be built to last a long time, if not forever.

For any shack, this is a must-have item

5/5

You'll need these if you're going to make antennas. Quality and durability outperform plastic at this price point.

This delicate item must be shipped separately from other items

3/5

Although it appears to be great in the photo, I received it in a single package rather than in two! However, six of the insulators in one package have fractures, resulting in significant damage. Because ceramic, like glass, is a very delicate material.
