Amphenol Rf 112533 Bnc Straight Crimp Plug RG-8X 50 Ohm

Product Description

The AMPHENOL RF 112533 is a BNC straight crimp plug connector designed for terminating RG-8X coaxial cable in 50 ohm RF transmission systems. This is a 3-piece connector assembly, meaning the body, ferrule, and contact are installed separately, requiring a standard crimp tool for proper termination. It delivers a reliable, low-loss coaxial connection suitable for signal distribution, antenna feed lines, and RF equipment hookups. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and communications system installers are the primary trades working with this type of connector.

The 112533 is used in residential and light commercial RF and communications installations where RG-8X cable is the specified coaxial type. RG-8X is a mini flexible coaxial cable commonly used in amateur radio, marine electronics, and distributed antenna systems. This straight-body plug connects directly to BNC-female ports on RF equipment, patch panels, and antenna junction boxes. Its 50 ohm impedance matches standard RF system requirements without impedance mismatch loss at the termination point.

Key Features

• Straight BNC plug configuration for direct inline cable termination
• Crimp attachment method ensures secure, repeatable connections without soldering
• 3-piece construction: body, ferrule, and center contact installed individually
• Rated for 50 ohm coaxial systems, matching standard RF transmission impedance
• Designed specifically for RG-8X mini coaxial cable dimensions

Compatibility

Designed for use with RG-8X 50 ohm coaxial cable. Mates with standard BNC-female connectors on RF equipment, test instruments, and antenna systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a BNC crimp tool sized for RG-8X cable and a cable stripping tool to prepare the jacket, braid, and dielectric to the correct dimensions. De-energize all RF equipment and disconnect antenna lines before beginning connector work. Follow the connector manufacturer's strip dimensions precisely to avoid shield shorting or center conductor pullout. This work is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or communications installers familiar with coaxial termination practices.
