to 300 MHz. Drop cable connectors shall be of a type specifically designed
for use with aluminum foil shielded cable and shall incorporate a uniformly
crimped sleeve for shield connection. Connections to tap and terminal
devices shall conform to the established standards for BNC connectors.
Jacket materials shall resist the effects of sunlight and oxidation for a
period of at least 10 years non-contaminating. Drop cables used in
underground applications shall be further protected by a moisture resisting
flooding compound applied between the shield and the jacket. The flooding
compound shall be electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and as
recommended by the cable manufacturer.

aluminum sheath. Provide adapting connectors to adapt the terminating
connector to match the connector type required for connection to
amplifiers, taps, and splitters and end-of-link equipment. Connector cable
retention force shall not be less than the cable manufacturer's maximum
pulling tension specification. Impedance of terminating connectors and
adapting connectors shall match the characteristic impedance of the cable
on which installed.
2.4.2
Flexible and Semi Rigid
Connectors for RG/58 and RG/11 coaxial cable shall be bayonet connectors
(BNC). Connectors shall be either crimp-on or solder type.
