BelkinRG58 50-Ohm Thin Ethernet Coaxial Cable with BNC to BNC Male Connectors (6 Feet)

I needed a handful of BNC cables for a security system so I bought three of these and they have worked great so far. I did some looking and for six feet the price is as reasonable as I could find. The cables appear to be high quality with thick insolation and hefty connectors. Some of the connectors were actually a little tight but better a good connection than a bad loose one. I have had a little bit of feedback from some power supplies but so far keeping them away from the power cables looks to have fixed that problem. Overall good quality for a reasonable price.

These are 50 Ohm RG-58 cables with BNC ends.Note - There are both 50 and 75 Ohm coax cable standards. Most purely RF equipment is designed for 50 Ohms. Most analog Video and many RF video applications use 75 Ohms. The 50 Ohm BNC standard predates the 75 Ohm standards. Most, but not all, common BNC connectors themselves are the 50 Ohm standard like this one - even sometimes when used on 75 Ohm applications. Some high performance video test equipment uses a true 75 Ohm BNC connector that at first glance looks like a more common 50 Ohm BNC connector like this one. But a true 75 Ohm BNC has a smaller center pin and slight differences in the inner barrel of the mating connector.Pay attention when connecting to video equipment - Some of them have slightly different BNC connectors and will not mate correctly with the common 50 Ohm BNC connectors - And if you jam it on anyway, you will damage the special 75 Ohm BNC connector in a very expensive piece of equipment. One of the most obvious visual differences is the center pin size.The good:This is a 50 Ohm BNC cable and connector. It appears to me to be good quality. I found no issues connecting to my 50 Ohm equipment. The cable is RG-58.Could be improved:I did not find anything that I really felt needed improvement.

Sturdy and works. All you could ask for in a cable

This cable works great for connecting test equipment, without resorting to jury-rigging alligator clips and jumpers. The collar locks pretty solidly with a satisfying click, and it's pretty easy to unplug with a push and a twist. That's basically it; the cable does exactly what it's supposed to do, and I haven't had any issues connecting a function generator to my oscilloscope.

I use this cable daily on an active construction site on an ultrasonic flaw detector. I receive very little noise with this cable and it does not get stiff in the cold weather. The sheathing is great as well. It has not cut or torn on any of the sharp edges I have gotten it caught on.

These are built very nice and provide a strong connection. Most test equipment uses 50 ohm cable and these work great. I ran a spectrum sweep from 1 to 1300 MHz and it was nice a flat for the entire range. The connections are a little more firm than my usual BNC connectors but you will never have to worry about them being loose.

I Don't Like To Talk Bad About Any Product because I Have The Option Of Sending It Back. My Problem Is My Problem, I Just Got Home From A 20 Month Stay In The Hospital And Have No Way Of Going Anywhere. The Cable Looks Nice, I Purchased It To Run Between My Quad & Monitor On My Security System To Replace The Cables That I had To Use RCA To BNC Adapters. Just As Soon As I Hooked It Up Today I Lost The Video Signal. After Troubleshooting My Monitor & Quad And All The Cables I Found The Ends On This Cable Does Not Fit tight Enough For A Good Connection. To Make A Temporary Fit I Put The Ends Halfway On. If I Lose Video Again I Will Just Go Back To The Old Cable & Adapter.Back To The Old Saying, "IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"

I wanted a six foot coaxial cable to connect my cable modem to the wall, and apparently this is not the type of cable I wanted. It came up when I searched for "coaxial cable" - but apparently it's a BNC connection - which apparently isn't what I wanted. You can't see what the connection looks like in the product image, and it looks quite similar to what I was looking for. You can see in my image what the connection looks like, and what I was hoping to connect it to. If you're getting a cable for the same purpose, don't get this one.

I've been connecting coaxial cable over 50 years with home equipment. The original screw in design is hard enough to work with, when you are usually jammed in a tight space behind the devices - TV, cable box, wall outlet, etc. This new design is even worse! I spent 20 minutes trying to connect one end and gave up. Don't buy this!
