Belden Compression Connectors Belden BNC, RCA and F Compression Connectors exceed SCTE Standards for signal ingress, egress and water migration, while providing exceptional aesthetic and strength characteristics. They ensure optimal connector performance by offering: * Three 360-degree compression rings * Visual confirmation of cable entry * Better performance with improved signal impedance Three 360-degree Compression Rings This unique technology assures the effectiveness of the cable-to-connector termination and therefore the quality of the signal transmission. Internal Depiction of a Compressed BNC Connector 1. Connector pin compresses 360-degrees around cable center conductor, for greater surface contact and preservation of center pin shape 2. Compression circles entire cable ensuring integrity of dielectric jacket and cable 3. Machined brass sealing rings create a permanent water barrier seal and excellent holding strength Viewed Cable Entry/Termination Belden offers the ability to see the cable enter the connector, and for BNC and RCA connectors, a unique pop-up pin confirms a proper termination and contact point. Being able to visually confirm the cable termination means better and faster installation. Better Performance Belden utilizes a compression technique that preserves the integrity of the signal. Other connector systems use a crimping technique which damages the jacket, dielectric and wire, resulting in multiple signal leakage points and moisture entry. Belden's compression process provides a smooth and consistent seal that reduces signal ingress or egress, prevents moisture penetration and improves the overall quality of the installation. 1.
