For Maximum Signal Integrity and Performance,Use Belden Compression Connectors, Cable and Tools
Built to Belden's exacting standards, Belden Connectors and Tools, combined with Belden Coaxial Cables, offer a complete top-quality, end-to-end field installation solution that will provide maximum signal reliability and performance. Belden also uses a compression technique that provides a smooth and consistent seal to reduce signal ingress or egress, prevent moisture penetration and improve the overall quality of the installation. Other connector systems use a crimping technique which damages the jacket, dielectric and wire, resulting in multiple signal leakage points and moisture entry.
Compression Connectors
Belden BNC, RCA and F Compression Connectors exceed SCTE Standards for signal ingress, egress and water migration, while providing exceptional aesthetic and strength characteristics. They ensure optimal connector performance by offering:
- Three 360-degree compression rings
- Visual confirmation of cable entry
- Better performance with improved signal impedance
- A simple product and installation process removes installation inconsistencies
Three 360-degree Compression Rings
Three 360-degree Compression Rings assure the effectiveness of the cable-to-connector termination and therefore the quality of the signal transmission.
- Connector pin compresses 360-degrees around cable center conductor for greater surface contact and preservation of center pin shape
- Compression circles entire cable ensuring integrity of dielectric jacket and cable
- Machined brass sealing rings create a permanent water barrier seal and excellent holding strength

Viewed Cable Entry/Termination
Belden offers the ability to see the cable enter the connector, and for BNC and RCA connectors, a unique pop-up pin confirms a proper termination and contact point. Being able to visually confirm the cable termination means better and faster installation.
