vin2install 0 Posted January 8, 2010 You can actually find those anywhere. The picture on the left is RG59 BNC compression fittings and the right is a RG6 BNC compression. Most electronic stores or even Ebay has them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomcctv 190 Posted January 8, 2010 use them once about a year ago ..............then replaced them with screw on. standard types: either screw on or 3pc crimp on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVS218 0 Posted January 8, 2010 oh ok.....well, for what it's worth, the compression fittings work much better than both of those.....they contact all the way around as opposed to a crimp fitting and I used the twist-ons a couple times but if you are near the ocean the salt air corrodes them in no time......................but to each his own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVS218 0 Posted January 8, 2010 ok, forget it.....tracked them down...they are only available through graybar or anixter.......minimum order of 85 fittings at 4.35 each....... ridiculous thanks anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AVS218 0 Posted January 9, 2010 guys, ebay does NOT have these connectors.......yes, ebay has compression bnc connectors but not these.....I was looking specifically for the ppc brand compression connectors....... I explained in an earlier post also why i dont like the twist/screw on connectors.....they corrode very quickly in salt air, near the ocean. Also, I dont like the crimp connectors because they just don't create a uniform seal around the cable like a compression connector does. A compression connector is the best way to terminate a cable, and is also the most professional looking. Back to ebay, here is the model of these connectors.... ppc CMPBNC59 check it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tweak'e 0 Posted January 10, 2010 screw on type with cover is 1000 time better than compression type even on ships. plus every othe bnc clamps inner and outer with steel or copper. compression holds it with a plastic collar. how is that better. and you dont buy bnc connectors because they LOOK professional i cannot believe i'm seeing this twist ons are for amateurs/diy who don't want to buy the crimp tools. in no way are they superior to hex or radial crimps and i havn't seen a pro use twists ons for the last 10-15 years. most twist ons i see are usually done badly as well, there is a few tricks to do them well. however they are handy if you run into odd sized cables. mind you i used to be in aerial industry and got well used to sparkies doing dodgy connections with twist ons.

AVS218 0 Posted January 10, 2010 just for information....here in america , compression is the standard not screw on.....we call them twist on by the way, and yes they are mostly used by amatuers.....i'm not entering this debate, just making a clarification.....

AVS218 0 Posted January 10, 2010 This is what I recommend and use. Not a fan of the twist on stuff http://www.icmcorp.net/pdf/ICMCorp_SLMSystem.pdf those are pretty good, i have some of those bnc connectors..... For 'f' connectors i use the ppc ex6 or 59 depending on cable.....but i'm thinking of switching everything to the thomas and betts connectors if they can match the quality and reliability of the ppc fittings....
