ProSignal BNC Socket to BNC Socket Adaptor - Silver

This adaptor is a coupler designed to join two BNC cables or connect a BNC cable to a BNC socket, effectively extending the length of a BNC connection.

75ohm refers to the characteristic impedance of the cable and connector system. This is standard for most video and some digital audio applications. Using a 75ohm adapter with 50ohm systems can lead to signal reflections and performance issues.

While the adaptor may physically fit a 50ohm BNC connector, it is designed for 75ohm systems. Using it in a 50ohm application can result in signal degradation and is not recommended for critical performance.

Ensure the BNC male connectors on your cables are fully seated into the adaptor's female sockets. You should feel and often hear a click when they are properly locked.

The adaptor features a nickel-plated body for durability and gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Yes, the 75ohm impedance and gold-plated contacts make it suitable for many RF communication applications within its specified frequency range, commonly used in video and test equipment.

Ensure both BNC male connectors are fully inserted into the adaptor's female sockets. Check that the cables themselves are functioning correctly by testing them directly. Verify that the adaptor's 75ohm impedance matches the system's requirements.

Gently wiggle the connected BNC cables. If the connection feels loose, the BNC connectors on the cables might be worn or not precisely manufactured. Try connecting to a different port or with different cables.

If visible corrosion is present, carefully clean the gold-plated contacts with a contact cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Ensure the adaptor is dry before reconnecting.
