It does seem that the real triax connector actually has a center pin and two shields, hence "tri". Twinax used two center pins.
This connector has one center receptacle and one shield connection, just like an ordinary BNC. The only difference I can tell is that there are three pins on the outside bayonet, equally spaced. I replaced it with an ordinary BNC jack, but the mounting hole was smaller, so I had to use some fender washers to install it. Functionally it's fine, but it would have been easier for HP to use an ordinary BNC jack.

Basicly a center and 2 shields. I am not sure that these connectors actually accept 3 conductor cable (Triax).
