My DirecTV HD receiver uses (i.f.) frequencies up to 2150 MHz. Some stacked TV distribution systems (multiple-dwelling units) go up to 3 GHz. Of course, these don't use BNCs.

Forgive my ignorance, but what applications above 1 Ghz use 75 ohm impedances? CATV is the only major 75 ohm application I can think of, and that's 1 Ghz and below.

Thanks and 73

Note another very important part of their statement -- that the 50 or 75 ohm impedance of the connector matters ONLY above 1 GHz, and only then in demanding applications. At HF, VHF, and below, the ONLY things that matters are that it fits the cable, it mates with other connectors, is reasonably easy to install, and is mechanically reliable.
