Amphenol RF expands 12G broadcast portfolio with new BNC adapter

Amphenol RF is expanding its 12G product line with a new BNC jack-to-plug adapter.

This coaxial adapter deviates from the standard bayonet coupling mechanism that is common to the standard BNC interface and instead offers push-on mating capabilities. The push-on coupling mechanism allows for quick and easy mating and unmating which is suitable for test and measurement applications in the broadcast space.

The BNC Jack to BNC push-on plug adapter is manufactured with a nickel-plated, brass body, gold-plated phosphor bronze contact and PTFE insulator. This adapter supports traditional broadcast technology along with newer 4K ultra-HD products which require 12 Gbps data transmission rates. The BNC jack end of the adapter features bayonet coupling for reliable and secure mating while the plug end uses the push-on method.

This adapter joins a portfolio of 12G capable products including connectors, adapters and cable assemblies that utilize the BNC, HD-BNC and MCX interface. These 12G-SDI RF interconnect meet all SMPTE standards and are available in various 75 ohm configurations.
