BNC connector quickly customizes the length of your home theater or broadcast video cables with these connectors. Nickel-plated brass provides years of reliable service. Barbs within the connector center pin provides reliable signal path and ensure a positive connection to the cable's center conductor. Connectors are a breeze to install, more reliable and easier to use than traditional hex crimp BNC connectors. Simply prepare the cable in the same manner as an F-type connector, insert the connector onto the coax cable and compress it with the 3-in-1 compression tool (item #38011).
