Compatibility of BNC Center Pins. Most video equipment BNC connectors,
whether 50 or 75 W, use a 50 Wstandard center pin. Some laboratory 75 WBNC
connectors use a smaller diameter center pin. The BNC connectors on the
WFM 601M are designed to work with the 50 Wstandard (large diameter) center
pins.
Do not use connectors or terminators with the smaller center pins. They could
cause intermittent connections.
