BNC Female to BNC Female Adaptor (PR-C07)

BNC Female to BNC Female Adaptor

The BNC female to BNC female adaptor is a simple connector that joins two coaxial cables which both end in BNC male plugs. Instead of replacing a cable to reach a longer run, you can link two existing leads through this barrel-style coupler and keep the signal path continuous.

BNC is a bayonet-style connector widely used for coaxial video, radio frequency and test equipment. Because both ends of this adaptor are female sockets, it works as a straight-through coupler rather than a change of connector type, so the two ends are matched to the same kind of plug.

This adaptor suits installers, technicians and hobbyists who need to extend a coaxial run, connect two cables in a bench setup, or join a lead to a piece of equipment without a spare cable of the right length. It is a useful item to keep in a toolkit or a cabinet of spare parts.

It is listed in the Tools and Hardware range under Connectors and Adaptors. Check the product photo and the connector ends before ordering to confirm it matches the plugs on your cables.

BNC Female to BNC Female Adaptor

The BNC female to BNC female adaptor is a straight-through coupler for coaxial cable. Both ends are female BNC sockets, so it accepts two cables that each terminate in a BNC male plug. It is a practical way to join two runs, extend a lead or connect two pieces of equipment that already have BNC cables fitted.

What the BNC connector is

BNC stands for Bayonet Neill-Concelman, named after its designers. It is a quick-connect coaxial connector that locks with a quarter turn. Its push-and-twist action makes it easy to connect and disconnect by hand, which is why it remains common in video, radio and laboratory equipment.

Key features

  • Female BNC connector at both ends
  • Joins two cables fitted with BNC male plugs
  • Straight-through coupler, no change of connector type
  • Compact body for use in cabinets, racks and bench setups
  • Part of the Connectors and Adaptors range in Tools and Hardware

Typical uses

Installers often use a coupler like this to extend a coaxial video cable where the original lead is slightly too short. Technicians use it on test benches to link signal generators, oscilloscopes and other instruments with BNC cables. It can also help when rerouting cables in a equipment rack, since a short adaptor can join two leads without pulling a new cable through the building.

Hobbyists and engineers may keep one or two adaptors in a spares box so that a damaged or mismatched lead can be rescued quickly. In security and CCTV setups, a coupler can make a maintenance job simpler when the original run is not accessible.

Handling and fitting

Check that both cable plugs are BNC male and that the cable impedance suits the system you are working with. Align the bayonet pins, push the plug in, and turn to lock. Do not overtighten by hand, and keep the connector clean and free of dust to protect the contacts. Store the adaptor in a dry place with the caps or covers on when it is not in use.

Choosing the right adaptor

Before buying, confirm the gender and size of the connectors on your existing cables. A female to female adaptor will only join two male plugs. If your cables use a different connector, such as an N type or an F type, you will need a different adaptor. Compare the product photo with your cable ends to make sure the fit is correct.

Summary

This BNC female to BNC female adaptor is a simple, useful coupler for anyone working with coaxial cable. It provides a neat way to extend or join BNC leads for video, test and general electronics tasks, and it fits easily into a toolkit or spares stock.
