BNC M CLAMP for LMR400/RG8/RG11/RG213/RG393 Cable

Description

The BNC male clamp connector is a versatile RF component valued for its tool-less outer conductor termination and robust mechanical interface. This variant is specialized for the 10mm to 11mm cable class, specifically optimized for high-performance low-loss LMR400, standard RG8/RG213, and high-temperature RG393. The clamp-style design utilizes a threaded rear nut, internal pressure sleeve, and gasket system to secure the cable braid, offering a high-integrity connection that can be disassembled and reused if necessary.

As a male interface (plug), it features the classic two-stud bayonet locking system for rapid, vibration-resistant mating with BNC jacks. Unlike crimp connectors, the clamp termination provides a high-pressure mechanical bond that ensures excellent grounding and maintains the superior shielding effectiveness of heavy-duty cables without the need for specialized crimping dies. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable signal integrity across a wide range of telecommunications, broadcast, and industrial applications.

Key Technical Advantages

• Tool-Less Field Termination: The mechanical clamp design allows for secure installation using standard wrenches, making it ideal for on-site repairs, emergency maintenance, and heavy-duty field installations where large crimp tools are cumbersome.

• Reusable Design: The threaded clamp assembly can be easily dismantled and re-terminated, providing a cost-effective and flexible solution for temporary setups or evolving cable configurations.

• Large-Gauge Cable Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.400″ to 0.405″ OD cable family, ensuring a precise mechanical fit and optimized electrical transition for high-power, low-loss signal paths.

• Secure Bayonet Coupling: Features the industry-standard bayonet locking mechanism for tool-less, rapid mating that remains mechanically stable under vibration and movement.

• Rugged Construction: Features a precision-machined brass body and high-performance PTFE dielectric to withstand repeated mating cycles and maintain electrical conductivity in harsh environments.
