In applications where space is limited and reliable high-frequency connectivity is essential, our 0-3GHz BNC 90-degree Male Connector Cable Assemblies are the ideal solution. Featuring an all-copper construction for superior conductivity and a space-saving right-angle design, these assemblies are paired with flexible, low-profile cables—RG178, RG316, and RG174—to deliver robust 50-ohm signal transmission up to 3GHz. This combination offers both performance and practicality for demanding installation environments.
Key Product Features and Technical Superiority
Our BNC right-angle assemblies are meticulously engineered to overcome the challenges of tight spaces without compromising signal integrity. The choice of materials and design elements ensures long-term reliability in professional-grade settings.
Right-Angle BNC Male Connector Design
The core feature is the BNC 90-degree Male connector. The right-angle configuration allows cables to be routed parallel to the equipment panel immediately after connection. This is critical in crowded racks, compact test equipment, and dense patch panels where straight connectors would cause excessive protrusion or cable bending. The connector utilizes the standard bayonet coupling mechanism, ensuring a quick, positive-locking, and secure connection that is resistant to accidental disengagement, which is a significant advantage over screw-type connectors in frequently connected and disconnected applications.
All-Copper Construction for Superior Conductivity
The connector body is constructed with all-copper materials (often brass with nickel or gold plating), distinguishing it from lower-cost alternatives. This material choice provides inherently better conductivity and superior structural integrity. The center pin is typically gold-plated copper, minimizing insertion loss and maximizing signal power transfer while offering excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. This robust, low-impedance construction helps the assembly maintain a low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) across its 0 to 3GHz operating bandwidth, guaranteeing high-quality signal fidelity.
Flexible Cable Options for Varied Environments
We offer three flexible coaxial cable options, allowing engineers to select the best fit based on cost, size, and environmental requirements:
RG174: A highly economical and flexible cable, suitable for general-purpose applications that do not involve extreme temperatures.
RG178 / RG316: These cables feature a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric and jacket. They are the preferred choice for high-reliability and high-temperature environments (up to +200°C). The RG316, in particular, offers slightly better loss characteristics and greater mechanical stability for more demanding use cases.
All three cables are characterized by their small diameter, making them highly flexible with a tight bend radius, perfect for navigating intricate internal equipment layouts.
Practical Applications and Usage Scenarios
The right-angle design, 3GHz performance, and cable flexibility make these BNC assemblies indispensable in several key industry sectors.
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
The BNC interface is the historical standard for connecting signals on oscilloscopes, function generators, frequency counters, and other test and measurement equipment. When these instruments are placed side-by-side on a crowded workbench or in a rack-mount system, the 90-degree Male BNC is essential. It prevents cable stress and allows equipment to be pushed closer together, maximizing space efficiency in laboratory and R&D environments.
Video and Broadcast Infrastructure
While high-definition video often requires 75-ohm BNCs, the 50-ohm BNC Male right-angle assemblies are commonly used in various ancillary broadcast and video infrastructure components. This includes connecting time-code generators, monitoring equipment, and routing 50-ohm RF control signals in studios and mobile production trucks where equipment density is extremely high.
Data Communications and Wireless Interfaces
These assemblies are widely deployed in the internal wiring of wireless communication infrastructure, particularly in older or specialized systems operating in the sub-3GHz range (e.g., VHF/UHF radio, legacy ISM band devices). They connect internal circuit boards, filters, and amplifiers within base stations or network interface units. The use of RG178 or RG316 is often mandated for devices installed in outdoor enclosures that experience significant temperature fluctuations.
Industrial and SCADA Systems
In Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA networks, reliable connectivity is vital for monitoring and safety. The BNC right-angle cable assemblies are used to connect sensors, alarms, and data loggers. The secure bayonet lock and the temperature-resistant RG316 cable ensure signal integrity and durability in non-climate-controlled factory floors, engine rooms, and hazardous areas.
