The TE Connectivity 5228226-1 is a straight BNC jack-to-jack adapter — a barrel coupler that joins two male-terminated BNC cables or extends a fixed line through a panel. It is a same-series conversion (BNC to BNC) with a 50 Ohm impedance, the standard for most RF test instrumentation, telecom base-station feeds, and broadcast video paths. The adapter is a female-to-female centre gender, meaning both ends accept a BNC plug. The dielectric is polyethylene (PE), a common RF-grade insulator that holds the 50 Ohm characteristic impedance through the signal path.
Panel Mount and Included Hardware
This adapter is designed for panel mount with a bulkhead mounting feature — it locks into a chassis cutout so the jack face sits flush on the outside of an enclosure, with the lockwasher and nut securing it from the inside.
Lifecycle Status and Cross-Reference
The form, fit, and function must match — same centre gender, body finish, and included hardware — to drop into the existing panel cutout without rework.
RG58 and Cable Compatibility
This adapter mates with any BNC plug terminated on 50 Ohm coax cables that use a standard BNC male connector.
