Product Information

Full details

The Loops BNC Compression Connectors are ideal for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create reliable, high-quality video links for CCTV surveillance systems. These connectors offer a significant advantage over traditional crimp types by providing a weather-resistant, secure grip on the cable jacket, ensuring long-term signal stability; however, they do require a dedicated compression tool for proper installation.

FAQs

Can I use these with RG59 cables?

No, these are specifically sized for RG6 cables with an outer diameter of 6-7mm.

Do I need a soldering iron to install these?

No, these are solderless compression connectors that rely on mechanical pressure.

What tool do I need to install these?

You need a standard BNC compression tool designed to crimp/compress the collar of the connector.

Are these suitable for outdoor CCTV use?

Yes, when compressed correctly, they provide a tight, weather-resistant seal for outdoor installations.

Can I reuse the connector if I make a mistake?

No, once a compression connector is compressed, it is permanently locked and must be replaced if removed.

Troubleshooting

Video signal is intermittent or drops out.

Check that the center conductor of the coaxial cable is fully inserted and that the compression tool fully seated the collar.

The connector pulls off the cable after compression.

Verify that you are using RG6 cable (6-7mm OD) and not a thinner cable like RG59; ensure the braid is correctly folded back over the jacket before insertion.

The connector will not fit onto the cable end.

Ensure the cable jacket was stripped to the correct length and that the braid is not bunching up during the insertion process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more secure than crimp-style BNC connectors
  • No soldering required for clean, fast installation
  • Provides a moisture-resistant seal when compressed correctly
  • Highly compatible with standard RG6 coaxial cables
  • Reduces the risk of intermittent video signal loss

Cons

  • Requires a specific BNC compression tool
  • Not compatible with RG59 or thinner coaxial variants
  • Cannot be reused once compressed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure you are using high-quality RG6 coaxial cable with an outer diameter of 6-7mm. Before starting, inspect your cable for any signs of internal oxidation or damaged shielding. When installing, always use a dedicated compression tool designed for BNC connectors, as attempting to use pliers or other improvised tools will result in a poor electrical connection. Once installed, avoid sharp bends in the cable near the connector point to prevent stress on the internal pin. Store unused connectors in a dry, cool environment to prevent corrosion of the nickel-plated components.
