Product Information
Full details
The Multicomp BNC Twist-On Plug (13-17-1 59U) is designed for RF technicians and audio-visual installers who require a reliable, tool-free connection for coaxial cabling. Its primary benefit is the quick, solderless installation process that saves time during field repairs or custom cable assembly. However, users should note that as a twist-on design, it is best suited for stable environments rather than high-vibration settings compared to crimp-style alternatives.

FAQs
Does this connector require a crimp tool?
No, this is a twist-on connector designed for tool-free installation.
Can I use this with RG6 cable?
No, this connector is designed for RG59BU, RG62AU, and PSF1/3M cables; it is not compatible with the larger diameter of RG6.
Is this connector suitable for outdoor use?
It is intended for indoor use. If used outdoors, it must be protected from moisture and elements with additional sealing.
What is the impedance of this plug?
This plug is rated for 75ohm impedance.
Can this be reused?
While the design allows for removal, the internal threads can wear down; for the best connection, use a new plug if the cable is re-terminated.
Troubleshooting
Intermittent signal or flickering video
Ensure the center pin is properly engaged and the twist-on housing is tightened fully onto the cable jacket.
High resistance or no signal
Check that the center conductor is not bent and is making solid contact with the internal plug mechanism.
Connector pulling off the cable
Verify that you are using the correct cable type (RG59/RG62) and that the outer jacket was stripped to the correct length.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-less, rapid installation
- High-quality gold-plated finish
- Versatile compatibility with common coax cable types
- Durable construction for long-term reliability
Cons
- Not intended for high-vibration environments
- Performance is dependent on precise cable stripping
- Less permanent than soldered or crimped connections
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the connector, strip the outer jacket, shield, and dielectric of the cable according to the specific dimensions required for your coax type. Ensure the centre conductor remains clean and straight. Gently insert the cable into the connector and twist until it seats firmly.
Compatibility: This unit is specifically sized for RG59BU, RG62AU, and PSF1/3M cables. Do not attempt to use it with thicker cables like RG6, as the internal dimensions will not match.
Care: Keep the gold-plated contact area clean and free of debris. If the connector is exposed to outdoor conditions, consider using heat-shrink tubing or silicone tape to protect the rear cable entry point from moisture ingress.
