Micro BNC connectors (also known as HD-BNC) are a compact, high-density version of the standard BNC coaxial connector, designed for applications where space is limited but high-performance RF or video transmission is still required.
The Micro BNC is about 51% smaller than a standard BNC connector and retains the bayonet-style locking mechanism of traditional BNCs, and should not be confused with the similar sized DIN 1.0/2.3 connector which is push fit
Its small size Enables four times the connection density of standard BNCs on the same panel area, and it has the same twist-lock feel as BNC, but more compact and precise.
Works with standard broadcast coax cables (e.g., Belden 1694A, 1855A).
Typical Applications for the Micro (HD) BNC connector are:
- Broadcast and video production
- Supports HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI video signals.
- Used in cameras, routers, patch panels, and distribution frames.
- Telecommunications equipment and network hardware
- Test and measurement instruments
- Aerospace and defence systems requiring compact RF connections
