How to Attach a BNC Connector to a RG59 Coax Cable

Here is a simple how to video showing the making up of a RG59 coax cable using a BNC and strain relief.
Whilst there are many ways to achieve the same result, this is one of my techniques of BNC connector installation on a RG59 coaxial cable.

When you have a multi strand centre RG cable, ie not solid, can I use the crimped system or do I have to solder the pin?

[@DVSLTD]

@@ericalmeida6303 Hi, crimped works on both solid and stranded yes

Already did before watching.

Nice job

[@manojmarathe3004]

Excellent vdo

[@panchmatiauday]

Thanks for showing the connections which brand connectors are recommended? Can u please suggest the ones which are the best for temporary outdoor events, as when we are finding up the cables get dirty from the mud and the connectors get spoilt and difficult in cleaning

[@DVSLTD]

Hi , thanks for the feedback , we buy them in bulk but there are version with gold connectors and crimps available , for a more rugged version external use ones in the UK are available

[@martialartsandfitnesstrani3687]

Thank you 😊

[@mkelectronicsofficial]

Hello sir... what type of cable are you using for power transmission for cctv

[@Pham-Bao-Hoa]

Hi, thank you for the clear and educational video. However @04:00 sometimes I feel the click, sometimes I don't, does it matter if it clicks or not?

[@drewbocop]

Thank you

[@elangomurugan9678]

Thank you sir

[@DVSLTD]

Thank you 😊

[@dalerobinsuk]

The ferrule is not supposed to be clamped twice, the die is deliberately that width to leave a small "Bell" at the bottom of the ferrule so it doesn't damage the outer insulation of the coax, especially when moved. And prevents the impedance of the coax being altered.

[@DVSLTD]

In my experience of 25 years of doing this it makes a better connection, maybe you don’t do it but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done , I know loads of people that also do this. Thanks for you comment all the same

[@leeflee7746]

​ @DVSLTD I'm trying to replace cameras. I know the company uses the RG59 siamese cable. However, I was wondering what type of BNC connectors should I buy?

[@carlosrg68]

ty sir 👍 i was doing wrong the whole time

[@altra8911]

Do you think that you could use heat shrink for a strain relief, and also as a water seal?

[@alexamaedualan6238]

Could you please comment down the materials needed for that full list of it some of the items i dont know the names of it

[@PowderMill]

Any idea where I can purchase flexible (rubber?) strain relief type protective “boots” like the ones shown in this video? I can’t seem to locate anything similar. I’m using RG-400, RG-142, RG-223 and occasionally RG-58 with crimp style Amphenol BNC connectors and think the strain relief boots in the video look far nicer than the “doubling up” on marine grade heat-shrink tubing that I’ve been doing for years. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks ! Just what I wanted to ask!

[@d.b.cooper1]

Is it possible for BNC connectors to fail leading to some cameras on Hikvision to show 'no video;? Everything else/other cameras a fine, could it be BNC issue? Is it too a small a job for someone to come out? Thanks pal

[@SamSung-yr9wy]

Which RJ45 crimptool you use ?

[@jamesallen5627]

Hi there , old thread I know but I’m really struggling to crimp the pin. Either crush it to much to be seated properly or not at all so just falls off. What am I doing wrong

[@SteveDavies80]

Looks like a painfully slow process. Is there any benefit to this, over putting an Fconnector on with and F to BNC adaptor. F connector can be put on with a stripper tool in about 10 seconds

[@sollykhan2385]

Thanks for this great video, i'm having problems acquiring fairly long cable to work with my oscilloscope, as everyone pairs up a 1 meter length with BNC - to probe, or banana jack,i require something in the region of around 2, to maybe 3 meter length, as some vehicle are very difficult to access,and of course the laptop with the interface(oscilloscope) cannot be too close to the vehicle that is connected up whilst working away safely, do you recommend a longer coax cable in the region of 3 meter length ,and could you do a video, or refer me to something that has been done successfully ? Much appreciated and Bless 🙂

[@DVSLTD]

Hi and thanks, do you know what spec cable is needed , its not RG59 is it ? 😊

[@sollykhan2385]

@@DVSLTD Thank you so much for your kind response, 'LEGEND' 😎, i have an Hantek 3064A 4 channel 60Mhz oscilloscope (DSO laptop version) with a X1/ X10 attenuator built in the probe, i'm guessing it may well be the RG59 (as China products are usually fairly low spec) however i think it may well do better with a slightly thicker inner core and outer sheathing, what do you Think, or better recommend ? 🤔willing to try and get at least 2 Channels up and running with longer reach cables, as the standard probe with cable supplied is simply NOT practical for any working Mechanic doing diagnostics safely with both laptop and scope virtually on top of a running car!! much appreciated for your kind input, Bless 😇

[@DVSLTD]

@@sollykhan2385 That’s ok, could you just buy the leads from amazon like here ? - www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=oscilloscope+leads+3mtrs&crid=1X5QGB7PLBZDX&sprefix=oscilloscope+leads+3mtrs%2Caps%2C42&ref=nb_sb_noss

[@DG.2030]

Does this setup give power and data? POC?

[@hakimapg]

which is better for long run, using RG59 or LAN Cable with Video Balun?

[@IceKnight366]

Does anyone know how to go about painting your BNC adaptor (black for example)? Is it safe to just spray it on with a can? I've seen a lot of BNC adaptors black and I want to be able to do this with an adaptor that only comes in chrome.

[@DVSLTD]

You could spray it black once its on but it could effect the connection properties. There may be black ones on the market just not seen any?

[@IceKnight366]

@@DVSLTD Well, I've looked pretty hard for the last few days and just can't find anything. I was thinking about spraying it, but without knowing if it will effect the electrical properties I feel it's too much of a risk. There are plenty of other types of BNC connectors that are black, but I don't know how they make these? Any idea?

[@johnsonoffeideh]

Good job but how do I test a signal cable that previously worked but doesn't seem to work any more. I have an AHD tester

[@DVSLTD]

Hi Johnson, so the image wont work right ? it depends on the signal type and cable IE if using latest Turbo DVR it can go up to 800mtrs @1080P , have you tried to reduce the camera resolution to check ?, AHD is one of the furthest signal types , and this is getting nothing ?,

[@danabarbrow1359]

Where do you get the rubber covers I can't find them anywhere

[@PowderMill]

Just what I wanted to ask! I can’t seem to locate anything similar to the flexible (rubber?) strain relief type boots shown in this video.

[@sol_77]

what's the meaning of the acronym BNC?

[@ANDY-we7mr]

its a like from me my friend brought a cctv system from a cctv installer well conned no box 2 black and white cameras and a cheap techno dvdr i have upgraded the camera to full colour at night 5mp but the idiot has used cat 5 cable is the RG59 a better cable to used i used it on my last system no trouble ...

[@SerperiorChaos]

Still wondering how this is in my school curriculum

[@frequencywatchers]

Ohh, I Thougt You Would Show How To Do It With A Bit Older Style BNC Connectors because I have Bunch Of Them And I Dont Understand How To make The Connection With Coaxial Cable, I have This Military Grade Coaxial Cable That Have Many Copper (Almost Like Pipes) Around It, Several COnductive Layers And TThen Copper Foil And Everything is Pure Copper, No Aluminium Nonsense, The Connectors I Have Are Brass And Some Are Copper, But All Are Silver Plated, All Are From USSR Times, They Look Diferent On Coax Side, But They Are BNC And TNC And All That, But The Coax Side Is Diferent, Like They Are Meant To Be Taken Appart, TThey Are Many partts In Them, Pressure Screws And Stuff Liek That, I Wish I Could Send You Them And You Could Show Us How To Solder Or Make The Coaxial Conections On Such Connectors Because I believe There Are MANY people With Them As Old Stock Who Doesnt Know How To Do It Properly !

[@LewisJohnsonIII]

Why did you even show us the RJ45 crimper lol!? Basically all we need is the specialty bnc crimper?

[@vladimirnachev324]

2:50 about that much

[@azbaroj]

Good video but lack of professionalism in working.

[@cjkokay]

Wow can't believe you didn't more blasted for poor workmanship. Yes I can use the Stanley knife. But seriously please use the right tool to cut the outer and braid. I'd ping my workers and myself for this effort. Hairy braid is a no-no. However all I use now is Cat5e/6 with baluns. Tho I do want to try POC.

[@DVSLTD]

Carl , I have used a Stanley knife for years , I can do it with side cutters also , it has the same effect , I can be trusted with a knife as I am a responsible adult mate, yes try POC its great , I bet my work is better than yours 😊

[@cjkokay]

@@DVSLTD That's a good challenge and yes I have used my Stanley knife to but only if I have problems. I usually use the professional three blade cutters to do the job consistently. Having hairs of braid is not what I like to see, but there have been times. Mostly these days using Cat 5e/6 with baluns

[@DVSLTD]

@@cjkokay Thanks for the comment

[@olwabhsecu4737]

Poor video. Tou need to edit this video. You can submit a training video and not focusing on the subject matter. I was really frustrated with tiu not holding the cable in the right place at times.
