What is Coaxial Cable Connector ?

Coaxial Cable Connector

Ø  Connectors used with thin coax are known as BNC Connector

Ø  The BNC connector (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) is a miniature quick connect /disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable.

Ø  Coaxial Cable Connector is ethernet connector.

Ø  BNC connector is a series of connectors used for connecting thinnet coaxial cabling to various networking components.

Ø  BNC connectors use a twist-and-lock mechanism that provides a secure connection between network cabling and components.

Ø  Several different types of BNC connectors are available and used for different purposes.

·       Barrel Connector

·       BNC-T Connector

·       BNC Terminator

BNC Barrel Connector:

Ø  They are cylindrical and connects two segments of cable

                         

BNC-T Connector:

Ø  They are shaped like the letter T and connect a device to a cable

Ø  Horizontal part of T connects two segments of cable (like a barrel connector) and vertical part connects the device

Ø  This connector has a center pin connected to the center cable conductor and a metal tube connected to the outer cable shield. A rotating ring outside the tube locks the cable to any female connector.

Ø  BNC connectors can also be used to connect some monitors, which increases accuracy of the signals sent from the video adapter.

Ø  BNC T-connectors (used with the 10Base-2 system) are female devices for connecting two cables to a network interface card (NIC).

BNC Terminator:

Ø  They are attached to each end of a thin coaxial trunk cable to prevent signal reflection, which can interfere with other signals.

Ø  Terminators provide electrical resistance at end of cable and “absorb” signals to keep them from bouncing back and being heard again by the devices connected to cable
