History Lesson On BNC Connectors
The BNC connector was developed back in the 1940s, as a miniature version of the C-connection. BNC stands for
Bayonet Neill Concelman. BNC connectors were named after an Amphenol engineer whom names is Carl Concelman. He invented the C-connection and
was the first. Octavio M. Salati was credited for the development of the BNC connector. Salati, filed for a patent in 1945, which was not granted
until 1951. Salati did all this work while working at Hazeltine Electronics Corporation. The BNC connector was designed at the time to minimize the loss of wave
reflection.
Compression BNC Connectors Are The Strongest Connections
Among the three major BNC connectors we sell, the strongest connector is the compression BNC connection. It needs
a special compression tool, to make the connection. But once the BNC connector is connected to the RG59 video cable,
you will not be able to pull it apart. The compression connection works great in environments that heavy stress factors or in environments that just
cannot take the risk of a cable/connector connection coming loose. It is really more peace of mind and installer preference. We sell twist-on BNC connectors
and if properly secure they are also hard to pull off. The main difference is the price of each connector. A compression connector will usually go for $1.99
per connector, but we sell them $.99 per connector. Remember when using a BNC connector you will need a compression tool to make the connection.
