Which connector series is used where?
A coaxial connector is chosen by the impedance and diameter of the cable: 50 Ω connectors for 50 Ω cable, 75 Ω connectors for 75 Ω cable. Each series has a separate order number for every cable type; telling us your cable type is enough for us to find the right connector.
| Application | Common series |
|---|---|
| Video and broadcast (75 Ω) | BNC, HD-BNC, 1.6/5.6, F |
| Mobile communications, antennas and base stations (50 Ω) | N, 7-16, 4.3-10, NEX10, 2.2-5 |
| Radio and vehicle systems | TNC, UHF, Mini-UHF, FME |
| Inside equipment, on-board and measurement | SMA, SMB/SMC, SSMB, MCX, MMCX, SMP, UMTC |
| WLAN | Reverse-polarised R-SMA, R-TNC, R-BNC |
Bulk coaxial cables are on the cable pages.
BNC, F and video connectors
BNC is made in two impedances, 50 Ω and 75 Ω; broadcast uses the 75 Ω types. HD-BNC and Mini BNC do the same job in a smaller body for dense panels.

- Worldwide supply. Shipped from our warehouses in Germany and Turkey.
Frequently asked questions about RF connectors
Do 50 Ω and 75 Ω BNC connectors mate?
Mechanically they do in most cases, but the impedance mismatch causes reflections and degrades the signal at high frequencies. Cable, connector and equipment should have the same impedance.
How do I choose the right connector?
Three facts are enough: the connector series (e.g. N, BNC), male or female, and the cable type (e.g. RG58, RG213, Belden 1694A). If you also give the termination style (crimp, solder, clamp) the choice narrows to one.
What is the difference between 4.3-10 and 7-16?
Both are low-intermodulation series used in mobile communications. 4.3-10 is smaller and lighter and is replacing 7-16 in new installations.
Cable assembly, or connector and cable separately?
For a small number of links in standard lengths a ready-made assembly is safer because it arrives factory-tested. Where lengths vary on site, connector, cable and the matching crimp tool are bought together.
Where is a surge suppressor installed?
At the point where the antenna cable enters the building, ahead of the equipment, and bonded to earth. Series and frequency range must match the system.
I do not know the part number. How do I get a quote?
Send the connector series, male or female, cable type and termination style. We will work out the matching part numbers.
Request a quote
- If you know the code: the order number, quantity and delivery country are enough.
- If you do not: send the connector series, male or female, cable type and termination style; we recommend the product.
- If you have a specification or BOQ: send it and we will return the matching part numbers.
