Oh dear, that reminds me of making my own 10-Base-2 cables in the distant past. I've long since given away my crimper and any 50Ω cables.
We had Linux user group (in-person) meetings in those days and a helpful sysadmin would run a cable into the room for people to use. At the end of the evening, when he removed the 50Ω terminator, he said in his best Dalek voice: Ex-terminate! 🤪
