Key Features & Function
Bayonet Lock: A twist-and-lock design with two lugs on the female connector that engage slots on the male plug, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Coaxial Cable: Used to terminate the ends of coaxial cables (like RG59) to connect devices.
Signal Transmission: Maintains impedance for high-frequency analog and digital signals, up to about 2 GHz.
Versions: Available in 50-ohm (for data/RF) and 75-ohm (for video) impedance versions.
Common Applications
Video Security: Connecting CCTV, SDI, AHD, and HD-TVI cameras to DVRs and monitors.
Broadcasting: Transmitting video signals in professional setups.
Telecommunications: General RF and data links.
Networking: Older Ethernet (10BASE2) and other network links.
Instrumentation: Connecting test equipment and medical devices.
How It Works (Simplified)
The inner conductor of the cable connects to the central pin.
The cable shield connects to the outer shell.
The male plug is inserted into the female socket.
Twisting the outer ring locks the two bayonet lugs into place, securing the connection.
