Hi Paul, There are crimp BNC's for 8X and the differences in the various
sizes of RG59, from the standpoint of dielectric O.D. as well as overall O.D.
vary such that it is not appropriate to use an RG59 BNC on an 8X. Even if you
pick an RG59 with the largest OD (again, they vary on 59), the overall OD will
be fairly close but the dielectric OD will not be. For a proper fit use an
RFI or a Cambridge connector. We have both and the price is $1.31 ea for RFI
and 1.78 for Cambridge. I can get back to you ref. the difference and die
sizes, etc. if you wish. Cheers, Steve Davis, K1PEK, DAVIS RF Co.

<< Does anyone know if there is a crimp style BNC connector made specifically
for RG-8X (Belden 9258)? Are the geometries of RG-59 sufficiently close to
allow for connectorizing with a RG-59 BNC type?
I generally use crimp connectors for my indoor connections, but I am
concerned that a stranded inner conductor may not crimp properly. Thanks!
