BNC Male to F-Type Female Adapter, Nickel Plated, RG6 (CONAI-1001FTY)

This is a BNC male to F-type female adapter: an F-terminated coax cable screws onto one end, and the other end plugs into a BNC input. It's the piece that lets the RG6 that was pulled for cable TV, with its F connectors already on, feed a camera, a DVR, a monitor, or a piece of test gear that only has a BNC port, with no re-termination. The F side is a screw-on, the BNC side is a bayonet, and the whole thing is nickel plated against corrosion. It's a small part that saves a connector, a tool, and a trip when the cable on hand has the wrong end for the equipment. For going the other way, from a BNC cable to an F port, a BNC female to F male adapter; for joining two F ends, the CONAP-1001COU coupler.

Features

• BNC male to F-type female. F cable in, BNC equipment out.
• Screw-on F side. The F connector on the cable threads onto the adapter by hand.
• Nickel plated. Corrosion-resistant finish.
• For RG6 coax with F connectors. Adapts an F-terminated run to a BNC input.

Where It Fits

It suits security installers connecting a camera or a DVR with BNC ports to RG6 that was run and terminated in F for CATV, CCTV service techs reusing an existing F-terminated drop for a new camera instead of re-pulling, AV and broadcast racks taking a cable feed or an antenna line into a BNC monitor or a distribution amp, test benches putting an F-terminated cable onto a BNC instrument, anyone who has stood in a closet holding an F connector and looking at a BNC jack, and a job that already has the RG6 coax patch cables, the SealSmart and Snap N Seal F connectors, and the F-81 couplers from the coax collections. For putting a BNC straight onto bare RG6 instead of adapting, the CONAR-1001TWI twist-on and the CONBA-1001SEA compression BNC connectors; for joining two BNC ends, the CONAN-1001COU coupler.

Good to Know

An adapter is a joint, and a joint is a little loss and a place for a loose connection, so it's the right answer for a cable that's already terminated in F and the wrong one for a new run, where a BNC connector put straight onto the cable is cleaner. Snug the F connector onto the adapter with a 7/16 in wrench, not pliers, since a loose F connector is the usual cause of a weak or noisy picture; then push the BNC onto the port until the bayonet pins seat in the slots and turn it until it clicks home. The adapter has no seal of its own, so keep it indoors, inside the camera housing, or in a box, and don't let it hang off the back of a camera where its weight and the cable's will work the BNC loose; support the cable. F and BNC connectors are both made in 75 Ω for video, and this adapter is for the 75 Ω coax a CATV or CCTV run uses. Keep a few in the bag; they're the part that's never where the BNC jack is.
