2 more observations, it appears that there is a hex type of crimp made, which is common for coax. I also see it appears the ferrule appears to be threaded as it has a grip type exterior to assist in tightening without slipping on the connector. But why is the inside of the boot a small round metal, what was the mating part, was that lost on the cable destruction?

OK, so I have a 2020 Chevy 3500HD.  I do not like having to string a cable from the rear of my 34' trailer to use the camera option.  From my understanding, the cable has a DC bias for the camera with

It looks like that is coaxial cable, not triaxial.

They could send power and signal on the same cable. Just like they do with Direct TV satellite dishes. It makes aftermarket cameras more difficult...

If you know any Ham Radio operators one of them could probably crimp or solder a different connector (maybe a SMA)?

You would need to do this on both the truck end and camera end.

Search for RG58 SMA connector on You Tube there is a video that shows how to install a crimp on connector if you have the Hex crimper.

If you were in Phoenix I could install the connectors in a few minutes, there is bound to be someone that could do it in your area.

When I have time I will see how much extra coax there is under the truck. If there’s a little slack it would be easy to cut the coax and put connectors on both ends. I could add a set of camera jacks in the bed for a fifth wheel or gooseneck.

I currently have a furrion wireless camera on the back of my fifth wheel with extra monitor.  Would love to be able to use the gmc screen so I wouldn't have to have an extra screen sitting there.  However the GMC camera is a "wired" camera.  How do you run the wiring from the back of your camping trailer to the plug without it looking cheesy?

i found a 'hole' at the front of my horse trailer where the manufacturer had run the wires for the brakes/lights.  There is a track all the way to the back of the trailer so i used it for my camera cable also...at the front, it drops directly down around the gooseneck hitch, so i cable clamped it backwards to just over the trucks connection.  CAUTION! i did not allow for a sharp turn of the gooseneck and the first time i did that the camera cables ripped out of the truck connection and i will have to get new connectors which have been difficult to find!! 

 

Could you also cable clamp the wiring underneath your trailer to the rear? i used self tapping metal screws and it was fairly easy...

I agree it looks like 'mini' coax and seems to have the same type of termination, but when i was researching the type of camera/connectors, i found a site that said the cameras were using triaxial.. i will look back to see if i can find that again.

I looked under my truck today.

The camera cable is RG-58, 50 ohm coax.

If I had damage to the connector I would just replace it with a compression F connector. Direct TV uses these outdoors in all US climate zones.

Put in a splitter and you can have jacks for your 5th wheel and on your bumper. I would cut off the camera plug and replace wi a F connector as well.

WRONG. RG-58 is a standard in radio and GPS. we commonly use it in aircraft. Directv does NOT use this. They use RG-6 and sometimes RG-59 if the installer is lazy. In addition you cannot use a splitter in this application. If you listen to this guy your camera will be damaged at the least.

I didn’t say Direct TV uses RG59 or RG58. I said they use F-connectors...

 

They use RG6 because it is lower loss at the microwave frequencies they are using than RG59.

 

RG58 is 50 ohm RG59 is 75 ohm. At the signal levels used here they would be interchangeable but I didn’t suggest that.

 

Putting a splitter won’t damage your camera. Even if you were so incompetent that you inverted the signal and ground it wouldn’t hurt the camera. The voltage that powers the camera is supplied by the truck. I would put a 50 ohm terminating cap resistor on the unused terminal.

 

It wouldn’t be a good idea to ground the unused terminal.

 

I will order a camera.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
