Review on πŸ”§ TL-7 RG-58 BNC Male to BNC Male 50 Ohm Lead - 36 Inch Length for Bench Testing - Enhanced SEO by Mike Palma

Pretty good 50ohm BNC cable at a very good price

These are 50ohm cables (similar to RG-58) with BNC ends. Note. There are coaxial cable standards for 50 and 75 ohms. Most pure HF devices are designed for 50 ohms. Most analog video and many RF video applications use 75 ohms. The 50 ohm BNC standard predates the 75 ohm standard. Most, but not all, common BNC connectors are themselves 50 ohm standard, like this one - sometimes even when used in 75 ohm applications. Some high-end video equipment uses a true 75 ohm BNC connector, which at first glance looks like a more common 50 ohm BNC connector like this one. However, a true 75 ohm BNC connector will have a smaller center pin and slight differences in the inner diameter of the mating connector. When connecting to video devices, please note that some of them have slightly different BNC connectors and will not mate properly with regular 50 ohm connectors. BNC connectors - And if you block it anyway, you will damage the special 75 ohm BNC connector in very expensive devices. One of the most obvious visual differences is the size of the center contact. Pros: It's a cable and a 50 ohm BNC connector. I think it's pretty good quality. I haven't experienced any connection issues with my 50 ohm device. Improvements: The cable is a bit stiff for the RG-58. It's by no means stiff or semi-rigid, just a little less flexible than I prefer on the bench. That's the only negative I found.
