I don't use BNCs, but I've had excellent results with standard
compression F connectors. You just have to make sure you get the ones
for the coax being used (single, or quad shield). I've never been able
to even pull them apart. It takes a fair amount of force to compress them.
IIRC the cable is the same size as RG-8X and I would think those
connectors should work. It's just the RG6 is a bit fragile for that type
of connection and the type F compression connectors work so well.
