True, most BNCs are 50 ohm. Type N, which is a BNC on steroids, has a smaller pin for the 75 ohm version. You will destroy a 75 ohm jack with a 50 ohm plug. But, lucky for us, that does not apply to BNCs. They are mechanically the same, except for less Teflon around the female pin.
If anyone is interested, we have some graphs on our site which show what sticking a RCA in place of BNC does. Lots of technically gobbledygook, and obviously for a *non-*Slim Devices product. So, only if someone asks. May not be kosher to give free ad space to someone else's product. At one time, we had a graph showing how much a 50 ohm connector in a 75 ohm system messes things up. It may be lost by now. Surprisingly, there isn't that much of an anomaly when you stick one in. It is much, much less than that of sticking a RCA jack in. Which should not be surprising. The only difference is less Teflon in the connector, for the 75 ohm version. The idea is to reduce the capacitance, which has the effect of raising the impedance. The RCA is a different story. The physical dimensions are all wrong. But........... You would think that for as much as those guys charge.
