BNC CONNECTOR :
BNC connectors exist in 50 and 75 ohm versions, matched for use with cables of the same characteristic impedance. The 75 ohm types can sometimes be recognized by the reduced or absent dielectric in the mating ends. The 50 and 75 ohm connectors are typically specified for use at frequencies up to 4 and 2 GHz respectively.
Video and DS3 Telco central office applications primarily use 75 ohm BNC connectors, whereas 50 ohm connectors are used for data and RF. Many VHF receivers used 75 ohm antenna inputs, so they often used 75 ohm BNC connectors.
The different versions are designed to mate with each other,[2] and a 75 ohm and a 50 ohm BNC connector which both comply with the 1978 standard, IEC 169-8, will mate non-destructively. At least one manufacturer[4] claims very high reliability for the connectors' compatibility.
At frequencies below 10 MHz the impedance mismatch between a 50 ohm connector or cable and a 75 ohm one has negligible effects.[5] BNC connectors were thus originally made only in 50 ohm versions, for use with any impedance of cable. Above this frequency, however, the mismatch becomes progressively more significant and can lead to signal reflections.
A BNC inserter/remover tool also called a BNC tool, BNC extraction tool or BNC apple corer, is used to insert or remove BNC connectors in high density or hard-to-reach locations, such as densely wired patch panels in broadcast facilities like central apparatus rooms.
BNC tools are usually light weight, made with stainless steel, and have screw driver type plastic handle grips for applying rotating torque. Their shafts are usually double the length of a standard screw driver.
They help to safely, efficiently and quickly connect and disconnect BNC connectors in jack fields. BNC tools facilitate access and minimize the risk of accidentally disconnecting nearby connectors.
