How to crimp high quality BNC Connectors

In this video, I'll show you how to make top quality BNC cables.
Crimped for the best performance, tooling isn't cheap, but the time and
cost saving on the connectors is worth it for volume production.
I chose to use Canare brand connectors simply due to their high quality
and easy availability in Japan.
I have no affiliation to Canare at all, I just like their stuff. :)

Thanks! Just what I needed to fix my Pico TA167!

Yes crimpers can get very expensive, I’ve used some JST and Molex crimpers that cost over $1000. It’s crazy when a company is buying thousands on terminals a year but still needs to pay that kind of money for an engineering tool. Nice work on those cables! 👍👏🏻

[@NearFarMedia]

Yeah, crimpers can get stupid expensive. These Canare ones aren't too bad when looking at the pricey ones for comparison..

[@ishkhan2581]

It helped me sooo much

[@gixerags750]

That cable stripper looks next level shit !!! Nice.

[@dennistaiwo1467]

Thank you. Well understood

[@DavidLindes]

7:28 - oh wow, it clicks here? I guess that's something in the outer connector clicking over the just-crimped center pin??!?? Fascinating!

[@NearFarMedia]

Yeah, it clips the center pin into place so it won't get pushed away when you make a connection.

[@DavidLindes]

@@NearFarMedia very nice. :)

[@yusdiy]

I always wonder how such thing are done. Thank you sir. Thumbs up to Canare connectors and tools! Could specify the details for the crimper and stripper.

[@NearFarMedia]

I added some links in the video description which should help you find what I used. :)

[@yusdiy]

@@NearFarMedia Is it the TS100U or TS100E. I see yours stamped TS100.

[@ishkhan2581]

I love you man

[@ishkhan2581]

Thank you

[@rpbale]

Great video. Do you know of a source for the U.S. for the cable? If not how would you describe the cable parameters? Maybe I can find an equivalent.

[@NearFarMedia]

The cable used is just standard 50 ohm RG58 coax, it's a very common type that you should be able to source almost anywhere.

Have you tried Jefcom? It’s a local JP brand. Their tooling seems to be standard size as opposed to Canare’s locked in design spec. Never seen that click connect center pin before though. Wonder if Canare have a patent for that or Amphenol do something similar. Interesting content👍🏻 Definitely scope for 3D printing a stripper though!

[@Nikita_Brus]

Thank you for the video! Although im a bit confused. Can i buy a cheaper crimp tool for canare connectors? There just doesnt seem to be any info or universal terms when talking about crimp tool sizing. Unless im blatantly missing something. Any tips would be very appreciated!

[@NearFarMedia]

It's not recommended to use aftermarket crimping tools as if they are not the correct dimensions, the crimp can fail. Hozan (A Japanese company) does make a compatible crimping tool for some Canare crimps but I haven't used it. I do have the mechanical drawings for a selection of Canare crimper dies that I can make available with a link in the video description if you need them to compare to your crimp tools.

[@Nikita_Brus]

@@NearFarMedia Thank you for your response. Ive decided to let go of the endeavour and just buy cables. Just too pricey if youre not planning to make a ton.

[@James_Bowie]

BP-C4 not stocked in Oz? Why??

[@nrcha]

Ahh.. the famous crimping handle. Put together by nude bearded virgins in misty forests of Scandinavia. Its magical power makes you create a few dozen bnc cables for no apparent reason. The only thing to remember is to put the collar onto a cable before you strip and crimp anything. I wonder - are the bnc cables that you can get on ebay that bad?

[@pharaotis]

Atom next episode?

[@jeff-73]

Your NA direct links are dead (expected with a 2 yr old vid). I entered their domain directly and found the parts. Amazon cables seem so poorly made after watching this vid.

[@NearFarMedia]

Thanks for the heads up! Canare seem to have reworked their website some time recently, so I've updated all the links.

[@jakwath]

This is more of a tools showcase than a BNC tutorial.

[@DarianCabot]

3:35 About $60 worth of stripper? 😏 I'll see myself out

[@yusdiy]

Its $90 now!

[@pedroagustingarzagarcia8172]

What's the name of the stripper?

[@Wil_Bloodworth]

Agreed. Unless you're making cables for a living this price cannot be justified.

[@MrBrymstond]

Wobble good you buy Chinese or utoob be very angry at you, who need quality when they can have cheap, forget Sweden just order 10 crimpers and strippers so when they break down everytime you use them, you have brand new.
