One thing further- IF you check, you will see that the Physical
Size of a BNC (minus the connector locking outer ring) is the

female,the BNC without its locking ring will plug into an "N"female!
There are temporary connectors to take advantage of this factor,
for testing (not permanent) connectors ! As info, Jim NN7K

I knew that. I have a home-made pair that I use from time-to-time in
the lab.

If you don't mind GRONKING the BNC fem on your test equipment. Very
naughty!

Once you do "N" you can't go back.

I busted the rings off plain old 50 Ohm BNC cables, at the far end. How
does this threaten my Rohde and Schwarz? We never use N cables. We
"permanently" adapt any N fittings to BNC. I made the cables to test a
75 MHz transmitter with reverse thread TNC fittings. How many people
keep reverse thread TNC cables around?
