OK rookie question.   I have this adapter on the back of my Vertex vxr-7000 repeater.   I plan to get new coax,  likely M&P ultraflex 10.  Is it better to remove the adapter and have N connections on both ends of the coax to minimize loss or at 30 - 50 foot coax length will it matter?

It’s always better to have fewer adapters, especially since N male connectors are easily available already mounted on coax.

Here’s a decent quality 50 foot coax, equivalent to LMR400, with N male connectors on both ends.

It’s also available in custom lengths or off the shelf at 25 ft, 75 ft, and 100 ft. 

Thanks.   I was looking at Gigaparts M&P but all I saw were PL-259 connections.  Much appreciated!

M&P certainly makes their excellent cables with N connectors, but Gigaparts is terribly under stocked right now. But you can order it direct from M&P and they’ll ship it directly to you.

ABR Industries also makes it:

I personally would rather have one of the more flexible coax cables with a stranded center conductor. I don’t know if this ABR or the DX400 is stranded. I recommend calling and checking.
