Go for Amphenol connectors and then you know you're getting decent quality.

you will need a pl259 to F connector reducer

The best cables are made with Amphenol connectors and Belden wire.

Maybe. Or you could use rg11 cable. It is 75 ohm and will work with pl259 connectors.

Yeah good call, RG11 will work great. I just had to make a jumper up with 75 Ohm Coax, and didn't want to crimp the F Connectors on RG6 Coax (RG6 Coax uses aluminum foil and aluminum shield wire, not able to solder) then half to use a F Female to PL-259 Male Adapter, kind of cheesy for a hundred watts or so.

I found some old RG59 that is all copper center and shield wire, had to drill open the back PL-259 adapters tho. Works ok, but again RG11 would be better.
