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. HTH Alan

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 Parts is a source for various RF connectors inline adapters. 73

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. http://www.newark.com/amphenol-connex/112597/rf-coaxial-bnc-plug-str-50-ohm/dp/99H4490?ost=99H4490

I have not bought that type connector but have bought others and their Bury-Flex coax from Davis RF. Here is their connector list: http://www.davisrf.com/rf-connectors.php They show both a crimp and a clamp type for BNC and RG8X. 73, Bob K2TK ex KN2TKR (1956) K2TKR On 10/9/14, 12:18 AM,

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: http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/CatalogPages/BNC.pdf wunder K6WRU CM87wj

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.
