It is a field-installable kit that includes the connector body, crimp contact, ferrule, and spacer — four pieces total, one connector per assembly. The bayonet lock gives quick connect/disconnect with positive retention, standard for BNC interfaces in video distribution, test equipment, and telecom patch panels.
This plug accepts RG-59, RG-62, and their lettered variants.
Insertion loss is specified at 0.2 dB, which is clean for a passive BNC plug at video frequencies. The gold-plated brass center contact and nickel-plated brass body resist corrosion over 500 mating cycles — a solid durability figure for test-bench or patch-panel reconnection duty. The polyethylene dielectric maintains consistent impedance through the connector body.
