As a noob to Ham, an Elmer had suggested an adapter system like these for multiple access points for HTs that deploy SMA thread connectors to various upgrade or mobile whips, fixed, j pole, antenna, etc. The 58 co ax I use for roof top J pole, has a BNC F and a few of some very nice whips did too. Using a pig tail just seemed too flimsy or going 239 to SMA on a regular basis seems like the SMA would wear out rather quickly or fail at some point. BNC is a great solution. I just had a heck of a time fumbling through the often opposite described male or female translations for what I needed. THIS is the one!! Finally! If this issue with fit, and length, threading etc is a concern, these FIT. Well made, no issues. Definitely recommend. I plan to seat these in all
Excellent adapter for a QD BNC-SMA Radio Array!!!
There is not much to say about these as they are such a simple product. I needed these as I ordered a pair of ev100 goggles and I could have sworn it said that it was an sma connector so I bought sma antennas then when I got it they were rp-sma so hence the need for the adapters. I received them quickly They came screwed together in a bag in a box so nothing smacking against each other or anything so that was good. They work They don’t feel cheap They are pretty much as small as they could get them, maybe could have removed 3mm in the middle but that is just nit picking and they may need that for some weird sma connector that may be out there, who knows. I already have them mounted and they are working great.
Works well
What they don’t do well is if you are using these to temporarily make/unmake a connection, you will need to carry around a pair of needle nose pliers to stop the inter section from just spinning, because there is no nut on the inner section to grip for disassembly. The same goes for if you are using these to connect antennas and you want the antenna to stay in one position, the smaller section will allow the larger to turn and your antenna will flop over.
They do work, but see below
