Protect Unused BNC Connections
Leaving BNC connectors exposed can allow moisture, dust, dirt, and other contaminants to accumulate on the connector interface. The BNC-DSTCP-S provides a simple way to keep unused BNC male connectors covered when they are not in service.
The attached ball-chain retaining tether keeps the protective cap conveniently connected to the equipment or connector assembly, helping prevent loss during installation, maintenance, and field service.
