Product details

What This BNC Plug Does in the Cable Run

The Amphenol RF 31-321-1000 is a 50 Ohm BNC plug, crimp-terminated, designed for RG-59 double braid cable and Belden 9231.

Cable Fit and Termination — What Goes Where

This plug is built for RG-59 double braid and Belden 9231. The crimp ferrule clamps over the outer braid, and the center contact crimps onto the signal conductor.

That means the manufacturer continues to support existing production but flags this part as phased out for new projects. For a new design, look at the current Amphenol RF BNC catalog for a recommended replacement.

At 4 GHz, the plug still holds the loss to 0.2 dB — that is a clean pass-through for a single connector in a test-signal chain. Below 1 GHz, the loss is negligible. The gold-plated center contact and nickel-plated brass body keep the signal path corrosion-resistant over the 500 mating cycles the connector is rated for.

Frequently asked questions
