Belden Compression Connectors
Belden BNC, RCA and F Compression Connectors
exceed SCTE Standards for signal ingress, egress
and water migration, while providing exceptional
aesthetic and strength characteristics. They ensure
optimal connector performance by offering:
•
Three
360-degree compression rings
•
Visual confirmation of cable entry
•
Better performance with improved
signal impedance
Three 360-degree Compression Rings
This unique technology assures the effectiveness of
the cable-to-connector termination and therefore
the quality of the signal transmission.
1.
Connector pin compresses 360-degrees around
cable center conductor, for greater surface
contact and preservation of center pin shape
2.
Compression circles entire cable ensuring
integrity of dielectric jacket and cable
3.
Machined brass sealing rings create a
permanent water barrier seal and
excellent holding strength
Internal Depiction of a Compressed BNC Connector
Viewed Cable Entry/Termination
Belden offers the ability to see the cable enter
the connector, and for BNC and RCA connectors,
a unique pop-up pin confirms a proper termination
and contact point. Being able to visually confirm
the cable termination means better and faster
installation.
Better Performance
Belden utilizes a compression technique that
preserves the integrity of the signal. Other
connector systems use a crimping technique
which damages the jacket, dielectric and wire,
resulting in multiple signal leakage points and
moisture entry. Belden's compression process
provides a smooth and consistent seal that
reduces signal ingress or egress, prevents moisture
penetration and improves the overall quality
of the installation.
