Network Cable Procab 1KPCL217 BNC MALE BNC MALE 50 OHM 3M Black

The Procab 1KPCL217 BNC MALE BNC MALE 50 OHM 3M Black is a 3‑metre coaxial network cable with BNC male connectors and a nominal 50 ohm impedance. Designed for professional audio and video signal transmission, this cable provides a stable electrical connection and consistent characteristic impedance across its length. Its black jacket and robust connector shells make it suitable for studio installations, live event setups and fixed or portable rack-mounted equipment.

Advantages

The cable combines a fixed 3 m length with matched 50 Ω impedance to reduce reflections and preserve signal integrity in analog and digital coaxial links. BNC male connectors at both ends offer secure push‑and‑twist coupling compatible with standard BNC ports. The durable outer jacket and strain‑relieved connector assembly increase mechanical reliability during repeated use and routing. The cable is manufactured to provide stable electrical performance for video, RF and time‑sensitive audio applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting professional video equipment (composite, SDI) where BNC 50 Ω cables are required
• RF and signal distribution in broadcast and production environments
• Interconnecting test and measurement instruments with BNC 50 Ω inputs
• Studio patching, live sound systems and rack connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: coaxial, 50 ohm characteristic impedance
• Connector type: BNC male to BNC male
• Length: 3 metres
• Colour: black outer jacket
• Intended signals: video (composite, SDI), RF and certain audio links requiring 50 Ω
• Construction: shielded with robust connector shells and strain relief

How to use

Connect one BNC male connector to the transmitting device and the other BNC male connector to the receiving device by aligning the bayonet lugs and twisting until they lock. Ensure connectors are seated fully and routed to avoid sharp bends or pinched sections that could deform the coaxial geometry. For best signal results, use the cable at its specified length without unnecessary extensions and avoid running parallel to high‑power AC cables to reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight kinks and avoid excessive pulling on the connector ends. For critical RF or high‑bandwidth video signals, verify connector cleanliness and secure mating; replace the cable if shields or connectors show visible wear. When routing in permanent installations, provide gentle supports and leave service loops to prevent stress on the connectors.
