Klein VDV813-616 RG59 Universal BNC Compression Connector, Black

Awesome product. I had bought 4 alternatives before buying these. The others didn’t crimp, the inside sleeve was not made correctly and many just didn’t work. They required lots of pushing into the connector and still no signal. Finally settled on the more expensive Klein Tools version. Were an absolute pleasure to use. The connector is a super quality gun metal finish. Feel robust and well made. Easy to strip the RG59 with the klein tool and firmly insert with every pressure crimp holding and superb signal. If you are short of time and money, buy these! Easy on first time, super quality and look awesome.

Très satisfait, très bon produit, je vais en recommander d’eau plus tard

Quality connectors at a fair price.

I've used several BNC connectors -- including the twist on and other press on like this one -- and have found that these connectors are solid and maintain their connection integrity over time. I've had to replace the "other" press on connectors on several cameras due to ghost imaging -- bad connection. When looking at the old connector, I found that they were not hard to simply pull off -- meaning that the sleeve was not tight enough around the coax ground wire. Add a little corrosion and elements to produce the bad connection. These Klein connectors are solid. They won't pull off (once on, they cannot be removed) and have lasted -- none of my cameras that have used these Klein connectors have had connection issues. My advice -- spend a little more and get solid connectors rather than having to go out and repair connections later on. These connectors are of quality.

High quality end from Kein. They are expensive but you can see quality just by holding them in your hand. These are much shorter than regular one you buy anywhere else... I used Ideal ones and those are great as well but Klein is step up. When you compress the end push it over the red ring, you will hear small pop and you are done. Follow instructions on the box for cable stripping and you should be good. Make sure you push every single string of netting back otherwise just like any end you will have open/short. I used these in conjunction with Ideal BNC tester https://www.amazon.com/IDEAL-Connector-Cable-Tester-62-204/dp/B004HNDFKI and had one connection bad which cable tester idenfied as open (leave it on 500 and use included 500 Ohm terminator.. even though its used for long distances it works fine with shorter ones) One thing that's possibly negative is center conductor insert into BNC sometime doesn't want to go all the way in. Don't force it, just back out your cable and make sure your center conductor on the cable is straight. I didn't have this minor issue with Ideal BNC ends but again its very minor and it does not occur often and its due to tight tolerances on Klein. Just make sure center conductor is straight and you should be good to go.

I first purchased these a few years ago and they were great. Now I purchased and most of the bottom compression sleeves were separated from the top BNC, over half failed during install, will not purchase again.
