Professional compression BNC connector E8293 is manufactured for DIPOL by American PCT company. The features of the connector have been specially matched to the cables of CAMSET family.

Main features of the BNC E8293 connector:

This monolithic (one-piece body) BNC connector made of zinc-plated bronze makes a perfect match with CAMSET cables. The construction of the connector protects the connection against water penetration without use of any washers. The kind of material used eliminates any corrosion. High precision ensures low loss and insertion force, as well as nice look.
It can be compressed with ease, providing stable high performance connectivity.

The cables of CAMSET family have the same dimensions (0.59/3.7/6.15) as RG-59 cables. The E8293 connector can be used with any RG-59 cables with inner conductors from 0.55 to 0.80 mm.

The connector contains two 360^o compression rings which, after longitudinal compression (along the axis of the rings) make a slight bulge. The dimensions of the rings ensure strong tight and resistance to break, but do not change the structure of the cable.

The inner conductor of the cable inserted into the inlet is centered and stopped. Special element ensures proper contact, which eliminates interferences when the cable is moved.

The connector is produced under strict technological discipline. It consists of 13 parts made of special, non-corrosive materials. Highly enlarged view of the connector shows the precision of production. The plug is tight in the socket, there is no risk of loosing the contact, which takes place in the case of cheap connectors.

To strip CAMSET cable we recommend the E8003 insulation stripper.
For compressing the connector we offer the universal compression tool PCT-AIO-CT E80075.

The mounting of the connector is a quick and easy job:

After some practice it takes less than 20 seconds !!!

The professional compression BNC connector E8293 fulfills all recommendations of SCTE (The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers).

Below there are two basic characteristics of the connector: attenuation and matching.

Attenuation characteristic of the connector

Monotonicity of this characteristic proves good design and implementation of the connector. it does not change the characteristic of the whole transmission line. Below 5 MHz (CCTV) the attenuation level can be practically omitted.

Matching characteristics

The characteristic is connected with VSWR. Return loss, practically in the whole band, is better than 20dB, meaning perfect matching (nearly all power of the signal is transmitted further through the connector). The VSWR parameter changes from 1.03 to 1.38.
