Acal BFi - a division of Acal - is sampling a range of new Amphenol RF connectors for applications in high-definition broadcasting, broadband and networking. The high-density HD-BNC connectors are based on Amphenol’s patented BNC technology. The series features a bayonet coupling with tactile feedback and a positive lock for fast connection using Amphenol’s mating and demating technology.

True 75 Ohm impedance allows the connectors to achieve improved performance over longer distances; whilst a direct fit to conventional Belden, Times Fiber DRAKA Image and Canford SDV broadcast cables using existing standard tooling allows customers to simplify the transition to higher-density connectivity. HD-BNC connectors can also be used as a replacement for DS3 and DS4 connectors.

Acal BFi will hold inventory of the complete HD-BNC product line of plugs, adapters, jacks and PCB mounts. Acal BFi is sampling HD-BNC connectors for digital video, high-definition TV (HDTV) and cable TV as well as for network routing & switching, satellite head-ends and telco broadband applications.
