Ideal 89-049 Bnc Compression Coaxial Connector RG59 15 Pack

Product Description

The IDEAL 89-049 is a straight BNC compression coaxial connector designed for terminating RG59 coaxial cable. Compression-style termination creates a secure, weatherproof mechanical bond that outperforms twist-on connectors in both pull-out resistance and signal integrity. The brass body resists corrosion and delivers consistent conductivity, making this connector a reliable choice for CCTV, security camera systems, and low-voltage video distribution work. Each package contains 15 connectors. Licensed low-voltage technicians, security system installers, and AV professionals are the typical end users for this connector type.

The 89-049 is suited for residential and commercial low-voltage installations where RG59 coaxial cable is routed to cameras, monitors, or video distribution equipment. Compression termination is the preferred method in professional security and surveillance installs because it provides a consistent crimp geometry every time, reducing signal loss at the connection point. The straight body orientation makes it appropriate for direct panel, device, or bulkhead connections where no angled exit is needed.

Key Features

• Compression termination method for secure, consistent RG59 cable connections
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity
• Straight body orientation for direct inline or panel terminations
• BNC connector type compatible with standard BNC ports on cameras and video equipment
• Sold in a 15-piece package to support multi-drop or multi-camera installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with RG59 coaxial cable. Suitable for BNC-terminated low-voltage video applications including CCTV and security camera installations using RG59 cable runs.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated BNC compression tool sized for RG59 cable. Proper cable preparation, including square-cut, stripped, and cleaned cable ends, is essential before seating the connector. Low-voltage installers should follow applicable local codes and BICSI guidelines for coaxial termination. Avoid over-insertion or misalignment during compression, as this can deform the center pin and degrade signal quality.
