Phil,
When I need one, I have been using the RF Industries RFB-1101-1P. These
are solder-pin / clamp connectors. I don't remember from where they were
purchased.
I don't remember what put me on these. I use them indoors only from my
KX3 to an antenna switch and from the RX connector on my
Umm... Phil, I got the part number incorrect.
Honestly, I'm not sure what I ordered or from whom. The part number I
gave you was for a Pro-flex cable so disregard that part number. That
part number is from a diagram on connector assembly (it had been 25
years since I put a BNC connector
Hello Phil,
I use very few BNC connectors, but the few that I have used were all
crimp-on. You might want to look at www.tessco.com to see what is
available. I buy most of my connectors from Tessco, and they have a
tremendous selection of all manner of connectors.

I have ordered several jumper/adapter cables made with RG174 from WiFi RF
Expert. They have been good quality. An example is a 24 RG174 BNC Male 90° to
UHF Female for $12.29. He can custom make most anything an OM might want. RF

Sorry, here is a source for a connector similar to what I believe you are
seeking, Phil, except that it's for LMR-200. The Tessco TimesMicrowave sites
also have good connector, and coax, info.

Hi,
Looking at the tech spec sheet I don't see a power rating? Also
remember these are 75 ohm connectors... Anyone know what the max power
you can pump through one of these are?

Thanks and 73's,

I have not bought that type connector but have bought others and their Bury-Flex
coax from Davis RF. Here is their connector list:

They show both a crimp and a clamp type for BNC and RG8X.

Thanks to all of you who answered my question and gave some pointers to vendors
or resources for ordering and information. I am following up today with a few
of the sites and I have already sent an e-mail to the WiFi Expert site.

I don't think you will have trouble with legal power. I regularly run 1 KW
through RG8X without problems. I did have some trouble running over about 400
watts with a Carolina Windom running RG8X but I don't know what was shorting,
the coax or the chokes or balun. RG8X is the same outer
BNC power handling is similar to UHF connectors. BNC connectors are rated for
500V, same as UHF connectors. Amphenol does not specify contact resistance for
UHF connectors. The full BNC specs are here:

I am looking to use BNC (male) connectors for RG-8X cable. I have found a
number of crimp style connectors but I am wondering if there are any other kind
to consider. Are the crimp style the best for reasonable cost?
My application does not need to be weather protective -- all use indoors.
Ok so if I was looking for a relatively universal crimp tool to meet 2most
of my needs... (I'm big on if I'm going to buy something I want it to do
many things)... ;) I was looking into this crimp tool..

Buy a crimp tool and use crimp connectors.
Two types of crimp connectors are available, single crimp and double
crimp. Single crimp uses a solder-in center pin and crimp shield and the
double crimp version crimps both the center pin and the braid. I have a
slight preference for double crimp,
So I guess for the next real question where would one recommend to get
PL-259 and BNC connectors for this job.
I'm with Jack on the use of double-crimp connectors for an inside
installations. I tend to use soldered connectors outdoors although with the
right sealant (e.g., Scotchkote)
Bret,
Look at the cost of small quantities of decent BNC connectors.
Then look at the price of prefab cables. You'll find that buying prefab
stuff is cheaper. Add in the cost of a crimper tool and prefab's are the
way to go.
The break even point is probably several hundred.

There are prefab cables and then again there are prefab cables.
A few years ago, I was given a couple of boxes of BNC jumper cables,
new, intended for computer to network jumpers. RG-58 size cable, molded

After several of these proved less than reliable, I cut several apart.

Good pdf on APP's - I've been using them a long time and everything I have 12v

Even going to use them for other stuff - control lines etc.

Looks like the RG223 that I selected isn't all that great for high power
