Belden 1694ABHD1 HD BNC Compression Connector for RG6 Cable - 50 Pack

Belden 1694ABHD1 HD BNC Compression Connector for RG6 Cable

The Belden 1694ABHD1 HD BNC Compression Connector is a 75-ohm male BNC plug engineered for RG6 precision video cable in HD-SDI, digital video, and UHD broadcast installations. This umbrella listing offers the same one-piece compression connector as either a Single Piece or 50-Pack content option for individual repairs or larger cable-assembly projects.

The connector uses a brass body with nickel plating, a gold-plated brass center contact, and a PTFE insulator. Its green identification band matches Belden's RG6 connector system, while the compression termination provides a practical approach for field-built and installation-grade coax assemblies. Applications include HD-SDI video, SMPTE 424M 3 Gb/s HD-SDI, and SMPTE 2081-1 6 Gb/s UHDTV signal paths.

Belden specifies the 1694ABHD1 as a 6 GHz RG6 BNC connector with a 75-ohm nominal impedance and SMPTE 2081-1 return-loss performance. The connector works with the CPLCRBC-BR compression tool and PSA59/6 stripping tool. It is intended for indoor, non-plenum installations and is particularly suited to professional broadcast, production, routing, and fixed AV cabling.
