Amphenol RF introduces the new generation of quality BNC connectors
for the telecommunication and broadband applications for higher
connector densities while preserving the positive characteristics
of the Amphenol full-size BNC's for 75
Ω systems. This allows 40%
more interconnects in the same area.
The Mini BNC series provides a positive locking bayonet system
where SMB and SMZ system have no locking feature. The SMB and SMZ
were not designed to be field installed or repaired, while the Mini
BNC is specifically designed to be a drop-in replacement and used
with the Telco DS3 application and is compatible with the present
field installer tooling and strip dimensions.
