VGA to BNC Cables: Connecting Computers to Professional Video Equipment
Introduction
VGA (Video Graphics Array) to BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) cables are essential for bridging the gap between computer systems with VGA ports and professional video equipment or high-resolution monitors equipped with BNC connectors. These specialized cables allow you to transmit video signals from your PC or laptop to devices that utilize the industry-standard BNC interface, enabling seamless integration and compatibility across various applications.
Understanding VGA and BNC Connectors
VGA connectors, featuring a 15-pin D-subminiature design, have been widely used in computer systems for transmitting analog video signals. On the other hand, BNC connectors are commonly found in professional video equipment, such as broadcast cameras, video production gear, and high-end monitors. These connectors employ a bayonet-style twist-lock mechanism, ensuring a secure and reliable connection for transmitting video signals.
BNC Connector Specifications
- Connector Type: Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC)
- Impedance: Available in 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm variants
- Applications: Professional video equipment, broadcast cameras, high-resolution monitors, and more
- Advantages: Low signal loss, high bandwidth, secure twist-lock connection

VGA to BNC Cable FAQs
What is the difference between VGA and BNC?
VGA (Video Graphics Array) and BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) are different types of connectors used for transmitting video signals. VGA cables transmit digital video data and are primarily used with computers and video game consoles. On the other hand, BNC cables transmit analog video signals at either 50 ohms or 75 ohms impedance and are commonly used with radio, television, and professional video equipment.
Can you make your own BNC cable?
Yes, you can make your own BNC cable using RG59 coaxial cable, BNC connectors, a cable stripping tool, and a BNC crimp tool. The process involves stripping the cable, attaching the BNC connectors using a crimp or solder method, and ensuring a secure connection.
Can I use BNC cable for TV?
Yes, BNC cables can be used to connect devices like TVs, monitors, and projectors that have BNC connectors. BNC connectors were originally designed for military use but have gained wide acceptance in video and RF applications, including television equipment.
Is BNC cable the same as coax?
BNC cables are a type of coaxial cable that uses BNC connectors at the ends. While they are closely related, not all coaxial cables use BNC connectors. The BNC connector provides a quick and secure bayonet-style connection, making it suitable for video and RF applications.
How do you connect BNC to coaxial cable?
To connect a BNC connector to a coaxial cable, you need to follow these steps:
- Strip the coaxial cable to expose the conductor, braid, and insulation.
- Slide the crimp ferrule onto the cable.
- Fold the braid back and trim the cable as needed.
- Push the BNC connector onto the cable.
- Fold the braid back over the crimp body.
- Push the crimp ferrule over the braid and crimp it securely.
How long can you run a BNC cable?
BNC cables can typically be run up to 300 feet (91 meters) without significant signal loss. However, for optimal signal strength, it is recommended to use one solid line from the camera to the DVR or video equipment.
