Klein Tools VDV813-616 Universal BNC Compression Connectors With Universal Sleeve Technology, 10-Pack

I've used several BNC connectors -- including the twist on and other press on like this one -- and have found that these connectors are solid and maintain their connection integrity over time. I've had to replace the "other" press on connectors on several cameras due to ghost imaging -- bad connection. When looking at the old connector, I found that they were not hard to simply pull off -- meaning that the sleeve was not tight enough around the coax ground wire. Add a little corrosion and elements to produce the bad connection. These Klein connectors are solid. They won't pull off (once on, they cannot be removed) and have lasted -- none of my cameras that have used these Klein connectors have had connection issues. My advice -- spend a little more and get solid connectors rather than having to go out and repair connections later on. These connectors are of quality.

High quality end from Kein. They are expensive but you can see quality just by holding them in your hand. These are much shorter than regular one you buy anywhere else... I used Ideal ones and those are great as well but Klein is step up. When you compress the end push it over the red ring, you will hear small pop and you are done. Follow instructions on the box for cable stripping and you should be good. Make sure you push every single string of netting back otherwise just like any end you will have open/short. I used these in conjunction with Ideal BNC tester https://www.amazon.com/IDEAL-Connector-Cable-Tester-62-204/dp/B004HNDFKI and had one connection bad which cable tester idenfied as open (leave it on 500 and use included 500 Ohm terminator.. even though its used for long distances it works fine with shorter ones) One thing that's possibly negative is center conductor insert into BNC sometime doesn't want to go all the way in. Don't force it, just back out your cable and make sure your center conductor on the cable is straight. I didn't have this minor issue with Ideal BNC ends but again its very minor and it does not occur often and its due to tight tolerances on Klein. Just make sure center conductor is straight and you should be good to go.

I first purchased these a few years ago and they were great. Now I purchased and most of the bottom compression sleeves were separated from the top BNC, over half failed during install, will not purchase again.

These worked just fine with my existing compression tool after a quick compression limiter adjustment. These were purchased to hook up our CCTV cameras and after a few weeks of rain and snow the connections are functioning perfectly. The apparent quality of this connector is better than others I have purchased locally and used in the past. The price was a little higher than others offered on Amazom but the price difference was minimal for this project.

They aren't cheap, especially when you compare to all the unbranded ones that are available. they worked fine for my needs. I wasted the first one but that was my fault but me not using my (non Klien) crimper correctly. After an issue with the first one, I thought more about the problem and was able to get the all 8 connections I needed done right the first time. Are these better than the cheaper ones? I have no idea. I can say these worked great for me, and because I only needed 8 I decided to not waste time and go with a brand that still has a reputation for quality products. these may be vastly superior to the cheapos or exactly the same. All i can say for sure is I was able to get 8 perfect connections which is all I was hoping for. Hopefully this helps someone decide what to try

I do not have much experience in connecting BNC connectors to RG59. Klein BNC connectors are somewhat expensive but they are high quality. My favorite thing to do with these BNC connectors - a comforting of soft-sounding (or feel) "SNAP" during the compression with a special tool. That helped me to know that I was doing the right thing. I installed 16 Klein BNC connectors to RG59 cable, all by myself. Then I connected them (between the cameras and DVR machine). I tested them and ALL were PERFECT. No mis-connection or anything like that. I got all reliable connections for the first time. You can't go wrong with Klein BNC connectors!!

I've used other such as the ideal, Beldon, T&B and I have to say by far these are the best. Easy on just make sure you straighten out the stinger before inserting the coax. Best thing about the klein crimp on is the window and there universal to most coax cable. I used the Ideal universal crimp tool it will leave a mark on the gasket inside the BNC. But not a deal breaker for me as I wrap all outdoor fittings with self sticking rubber and vinyl tape. They hold tight and don't twist off. I am now using only klein coax fittings well build and haven't had one bad crimp out of 100's I've done.

These compression connectors work great for CCTV signals. There is a fine line between a perfect crimp and going too hard and crushing the inner ring out of shape, however. Once you get your tool dialed in, you will be fine though. I do wish they could be a bit more inexpensive, but I do like the quality. I find these are faster to do than hex crimping.

Très satisfait, très bon produit, je vais en recommander d’eau plus tard

Awesome product. I had bought 4 alternatives before buying these. The others didn’t crimp, the inside sleeve was not made correctly and many just didn’t work. They required lots of pushing into the connector and still no signal. Finally settled on the more expensive Klein Tools version. Were an absolute pleasure to use. The connector is a super quality gun metal finish. Feel robust and well made. Easy to strip the RG59 with the klein tool and firmly insert with every pressure crimp holding and superb signal. If you are short of time and money, buy these! Easy on first time, super quality and look awesome.

Quality connectors at a fair price.

I admit I wasted 2 of the connectors until it dawned on me. You must firmly push the stripped section into the internal barrel. Then when compressed, it isn't coming out. This is one company that makes precise connectors.

Much better fit than another product I ordered, Monoprice Male BNC Compression connector for RG59. The other connectors ends are larger to accommodate R6 cables and with the smaller RG59 leaves an opening on the end of the connector which is not good for exterior cameras unless of course you tape up the ends. Would have rated 5 stars except for the fact that these connectors were too short for my Hiija compression tool which is adjustable for length but not for a shorter connectors.
