BNC connectors find widespread use in video transmission applications, including broadcast, CCTV, radio, and test equipment. They are commonly utilized for handling analog and serial digital interface video signals. In digital recording setups, these connectors play a crucial role in synchronizing recording components by transmitting word clock timing signals between devices. Coaxial cables are typically terminated with BNC males, while BNC females are often connected to patch panels or directly to the equipment. Proper termination of this connector necessitates the use of a crimp tool.
