In lengths reasonable for a dogbone adapter (max 2 foot) Length is not a factor 2 inches (not long enough to attach to) or 2 feet. wont' matter. You are in teh .000x ohm range and I'm not sure I typed enough zeros. Now at 50-100 feet. YES. but under a yard. NO.

Man it's a tough crowd on the forum these days. Why does it matter to anyone else if the OP wants to make something rather than buy some junk made to minimum standards.

I make my own adapters because I like doing stuff like that, and I'm 100% sure that I build things with more care than I can buy. Plus the more stuff you fiddle with and make, the better you understand how all these things work. Helps when you've got to do an emergency field repair.
And a few hours in the garage making things I could buy beats watching TV. :B
