If you go to radio shack, they should have screw on coax connectors. You can
probably get it to work with a pliers, but it may come apart


Is it BNC RG-58?

No, that is for real radios, and real coax. The ones you want are for
type F, either RG-6, or more likely RG-59.


And compression connectors (with the proper tool) are better. You'll
need the proper ones for the cable type, RG6 or RG59.
