Could somebody kindly answer the following questions:



- Are BNC connectors for RG-58U wire and RG400U wire the same?



- Can the same crimpers be used for attaching BNC connectors to both RG-58U wire and RG400U wire?  If so, why you can only read ‘58’ on some dye sets and not ‘58/400’ or something like that?



- What about TNC connectors? Do the same principles as for BNC connectors apply when it comes to RG58/RG400 cables and installation tools?



Thanks

There is a difference between the 58 and the 400 RU B(T)NC connectors



It deals with the fact that the ‘400 cable has 2 braided shields around the central insulated conductor. This makes the wire greater in diameter and thus needs a larger crimp collar(which holds the whole assembly together). You could probably get by using a 400 collar with 58 wire but a 58 collar won’t easily fit in 400.  



The crimping tools should be the same.
