Description

A BNC Male RG-6 Compression Connector (BNC M RG 6 COMPRESSION) is a 75-ohm RF video plug engineered to terminate onto thicker RG-6 coaxial cable using a 360-degree radial compression tool. Unlike traditional hex crimp connectors that can pinch or distort the thicker RG-6 dielectric, a compression connector utilizes a plastic/metal sleeve that slides forward evenly to lock the outer jacket and braid shield $360^circ$ against the connector body.Part Designation BreakdownBNC: Quick quarter-turn twist-and-lock bayonet coupling interface.M (Male): Plug configuration featuring a gold-plated center pin and a rotating bayonet locking collar. RG 6: Precision-sized for 75 $Omega$ RG-6 (and RG-6 Quad Shield) coaxial cable (~6.90 mm / 0.270 in outer diameter). COMPRESSION: Uses a linear compression tool to compress the sleeve, providing a weatherproof seal and continuous shield grounding.

Primary ApplicationsLong-Distance CCTV Surveillance: Interconnecting RG-6 video runs to DVRs, HD-TVI, CVI, and AHD cameras over longer distances than RG-59 allows.Broadcast & SDI Video Infrastructure: Connecting 75-ohm HD-SDI, 3G-SDI video lines, and patch panels.CATV & Satellite Equipment: Direct-to-home feeds and distribution systems requiring high RF shielding.
