Figure 3-1. Coaxial Connector Examples
The types of coaxial cables used with the MCED‐100 by Comtech EF Data are ‘BNC’, ‘N’, and
‘SMA’. Coaxial cables (plugs) and their mating connectors (jacks/sockets) are available in two
coupling styles: Bayonet or Threaded.
• Bayonet Coupling Style: The jack has a pair of guide posts that accommodate the plug’s
lockdown slots. This lockdown design provides secure assembly without over‐tightening
the connection.
