Product Information

Full details

For CCTV installers and DIYers, these Loops BNC Compression Connectors offer a secure and quick connection for RG6 coaxial cable. The primary benefit is their robust grip, which is superior to traditional crimp connectors, providing a more durable connection. A caveat is the requirement for a specific BNC compression tool. These connectors are designed for a hassle-free installation, eliminating the need for soldering and ensuring a tight, reliable seal.

FAQs

What type of coaxial cable should I use with these connectors?

These connectors are recommended for use with RG6 coaxial cable. They are designed to fit cables with an outer diameter between 6mm and 7mm.

Do I need any special tools to install these connectors?

Yes, you will need a specific BNC compression tool to properly install these connectors. A 3-in-1 compression tool is recommended and available separately.

Can I use these connectors without a compression tool?

No, these are compression connectors and require a BNC compression tool for a secure and reliable connection. They are not designed for soldering or standard crimping tools.

How do I know if my cable is compatible?

The connectors are designed for coaxial cables with an outer diameter of 6mm to 7mm. If you are unsure, measure the outer diameter of your cable.

How many connectors are included in a pack?

Each listing is for a pack of two (2) BNC Compression Connectors.

Are these connectors suitable for outdoor use?

The compression design offers a secure grip, which helps in making a robust connection. However, for outdoor use, ensure proper weatherproofing of the entire connection point according to industry standards.

Troubleshooting

Connector not securing the cable

Ensure the coaxial cable's outer diameter is within the 6-7mm range. Verify the cable is stripped to the correct length and that the center conductor is properly aligned. Re-apply compression with the tool.

Poor video signal after installation

Check that the connector was fully compressed. Ensure the cable was not damaged during stripping or compression. Inspect the center conductor for any stray shielding or dielectric material that could cause a short.

Compression tool not engaging properly

Make sure you are using the correct BNC compression tool compatible with this type of connector. Check the tool for any obstructions or damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very secure and tight connection
  • Quick and hassle-free installation process
  • More durable and robust than standard crimp connectors
  • No soldering required, simplifying setup
  • Neat and professional finish to installations

Cons

  • Requires a dedicated BNC compression tool
  • Compatibility is limited to RG6 cable with specific outer diameters (6-7mm)
  • May be less forgiving of minor imperfections in cable stripping compared to some other connector types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Cable: Strip the coaxial cable (RG6 recommended) according to the specifications for BNC compression connectors. Ensure the center conductor is exposed and the dielectric material is cut cleanly.
  2. Slide on Connector: Slide the BNC compression connector onto the prepared end of the coaxial cable. Ensure the center conductor is properly seated within the connector's pin.
  3. Compress the Connector: Using a dedicated BNC compression tool, apply firm, even pressure to compress both the main body and the central pin of the connector. This action secures the cable within the connector.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Type: Primarily designed for RG6 coaxial cable.
  • Outer Diameter: Suitable for coaxial cables with an outer diameter between 6mm and 7mm.
  • Tool Requirement: Requires a BNC compression tool for proper installation. Loops offers a 3-in-1 compression tool that is compatible.

Care:

  • Store connectors in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Ensure the compression tool is clean and in good working order for optimal performance.
  • Avoid excessive force during compression, which could damage the cable or connector.
