Adapter Video/Audio BNC coupler ShiverPeaks 98807-5 for RG58U cable, clamp connection

The ShiverPeaks BNC coupler 98807-5 for RG58U cable is a passive clamp-style adapter designed to join two coaxial RG58U lines with BNC terminations. It provides a straightforward mechanical connection for video and audio coaxial runs without active signal conversion, allowing continuity of analog video, CCTV feeds, RF test signals and low-frequency audio over coax where RG58U is used. The clamp connection secures conductor and shield for reliable contact while remaining compact for installation in equipment racks, junction points or temporary test setups.

Advantages

This BNC coupler offers a simple, tool-friendly clamp connection that eliminates the need for soldering or crimping at the joint, reducing installation time in field and lab environments. Its passive design preserves the original signal characteristics of RG58U cable, avoids added electronics that could introduce noise or require power, and fits standard BNC male connectors for broad compatibility. The compact and robust construction supports repeated connections and disconnections during testing or temporary installations.

Suitable for

• CCTV analog camera connections using RG58U
• Analog composite video runs and quick field joins
• RF test bench setups and signal routing during measurements
• Low-frequency audio over coax where RG58U is specified
• Temporary or portable installations requiring fast joins

Key specifications

• Connector type: BNC coupler for joining two BNC-terminated cables
• Cable compatibility: RG58U coaxial cable
• Connection method: clamp-style mechanical joint for conductor and shield
• Signal type: passive transmission for analog video, RF signals and low-frequency audio
• Form factor: compact inline coupler suitable for rack and field use

How to use

To use the coupler, prepare two RG58U cables with BNC male terminations and align each connector with the coupler’s BNC female ends. Push and lock each BNC connection until a tactile click or firm seating is achieved. Ensure the clamp connection secures conductor and shield according to the cable termination; verify mechanical stability by gently tugging the cable. For signal verification, check video or audio continuity with appropriate equipment after making the connection. Remove by rotating or pulling the BNC connectors straight out, following standard BNC disconnect procedures.

Recommendations

Use the coupler for short, passive joins; avoid using multiple couplers in series for long runs, as each passive junction can add slight impedance discontinuities. For permanent installations or where impedance matching is critical, consider professional termination or a single continuous run of RG58U cable with factory-grade connectors. Keep the coupler and connections dry and free from corrosion for stable long-term performance.
