Coaxial Cable Connections

Coupling Type
Bayonet
(Type 'BNC' shown)
Threaded
(Type 'N' shown)
The types of coaxial cables used by Comtech EF Data are 'BNC', 'TNC', 'N', 'F', and 'SMA'. Coaxial
cables (plugs) and their mating connectors (jacks/sockets) are available in two coupling styles:
Bayonet or Threaded:
•
Bayonet Coupling Style: The jack has a pair of guide posts that accommodate the plug's
lockdown slots. This lockdown design provides secure assembly without over-tightening the
connection.
•
Threaded Coupling Style: The jack features external threads. The plug shell features internal
threads, and has either a knurled outer surface to permit hand-tightening of the connection,
or hex flats to accommodate torqued installation.
Connection Instructions:
•
Bayonet Coupling Connections: Use the plug slots to guide, then slide the plug onto the jack
posts. Then, turn the plug clockwise until the jack posts are fully seated within the plug slot.
•
Threaded Coupling Connections: Engage the plug onto the jack threads, and then turn the
plug clockwise until it is fully threaded onto the jack. Do not over-tighten the connection.
