That's pretty much how I've been doing it since f plugs came on the UK
scene.

I don't know how far back you are going, Bill, but the first
time I saw them was when they were used for the internet
connection on the early IBM PCs in the early 80s.

I don't recall any networking standard that used F connectors?

Early thin ethernet with BNC connectors on 50 ohm coax certainly


Yup. BNC was THE professional RF plug in the 70s.

When we first met them in the '60s, they were known as a "B***** Nasty
Connector"


Bayonet Neill-Concelman is its correct name!..

Just use them for Two-way radio installs these days. "N" type for
anything more powerful up to say 500 odd watts

There is/was a a large version of the BNC (simply C, ISTR) which is about
the size of an N, but bayonet rather than screw.
