Anyone ever use jumper cables that have a "swiveling" 90° connector on each end? Do they form a reliable connection? I bought some for my application and after looking at them, I started wondering if it was actually safe to trust them to have a solid connection. Thanks!

I have never seen them and honestly don't care if I ever do. Rigid 90;s yes, swivel 90's.........nope. Not for me.
I'm not good at attaching links. It's on Amazon as "Superbat" brand name. Not just a connector. An actual coax jumper assembly.
The more I look at them and think about it, the more I agree with you. I didn't realize they "swiveled" until I received them. I don't like the idea, either. How could you possibly trust them to maintain a solid connection?! I will be coming up with some solid 90° connectors for sure!

Things like that usually work right up to the point that they don't.
It's not rocket science. Point your mouse arrow on the web address at the top, give it a right click, a window appears and click save. Then point the arrow right here when making a post, right click then hit paste. Done. With practice you can master it in like 30 seconds.
Maybe so. It's also not rocket science to go on Amazon and search Superbat jumper cables!
If you type Superbat coax jumper cables in search bar, then scroll down until you see the ones with 90° ends, that will be the ones.

Sorry. I looked all over and cannot find a Superbat swivel PL-259 connector. Nor can I find the cable with swivel 259s installed. I see BNC, UHF minis, adaptors, etc. It's pretty simple. If you want us to see something, show us.
It has the detents but it seems like the tightening ring tightens before the detents engage. And the center pin is awfully loose in center hole. It can be wiggled in both directions even when as tight as it will go. This tells me not to use it since I would expect the connection to be intermittent if anything gets moved around. I have another pair of jumper cables and male to female 90° connectors on order. Just don't trust it.
