BNC connectors are used with miniature-to-subminiature coaxial cable in radio, television, and other radio-frequency electronic equipment. They were commonly used for early computer networks, including ARCnet , the IBM PC Network , and the 10BASE2 variant of Ethernet .
S/PDIF is an audio-only format carried over electrical coaxial cable (with RCA jacks) or optical fibre . Note that there are no differences in the signals transmitted over optical or coaxial S/PDIF connectors—both carry exactly the same information. Selection of one over the other rests mainly on the availability of appropriate connectors on ...
Triaxial cable, often referred to as triax for short, is a type of electrical cable similar to coaxial cable, but with the addition of an extra layer of insulation and a second conducting sheath. Triax provides greater bandwidth and rejection of interference than coax, but is more expensive.
A double DIN 1.6/5.6 bulkhead jack connector, crimp type, for 75 Ω coaxial cable A Type N connector (male), right-angled solder-type for semi-rigid coaxial cable with a diameter of 0.141-inch. 4.1-9.5 connector, standardized as DIN 47231 (in 1974) and IEC 60169-11 (in 1977) 4.3-10 connector, formerly known as DIN 4.3/10, now standardized as ...
Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈ k oʊ. æ k s /), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.
10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, [1] thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors to build a local area network. During the mid to late 1980s, this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard.
Most TNC connectors are 50-ohm type even when used with coaxial cable of other impedances, [citation needed] but a 75-ohm series is also available, providing a good SWR to about 1 GHz. [10] These can be recognized by a reduced amount of dielectric in the mating ends. They are intermatable with standard types.
BNC connectors and higher quality coaxial cable are often used in professional television studios and post-production applications. BNC connectors were also used for composite video connections on early home VCRs, often accompanied by either RCA connector or a 5-pin DIN connector for audio.
