Not sure about that. With the mention of BNC plugs. There are non crimp
ones available for emergency repairs in the field - but the vast majority
rely on being correctly crimped. How else would you connect the screen?

Years ago when I used to have to make up many BNC leads, the supplied
sockets & plugs had a ferrule thing that you had to slide down between the
screen and inner sheath, and the gripper 'collet' squashed them tightly into
contact. You started striping back to the drawing, soldered the centre pin
on, slid the back nut, rubber squashy thing and washer on, then the ferrule.
Then assembled the whole shebang onto the body. Got quite good at it G
