Product Description
The BNC Q9 Male Connector for CCTV Coaxial Cable terminates coax runs so they can plug straight into a camera, DVR or monitor's BNC socket. It fits RG59 and RG6, the two coax types most often run on CCTV installs.
How it works
Inside the connector is a spring-loaded contact that presses against the cable core rather than relying on a fixed crimp point. That constant pressure is what keeps the electrical connection stable, which matters because a loose core connection is a common cause of a flickering or dropping video signal on coax runs.
Where it fits
It's suited to analogue and HD-over-coax systems — TVI, AHD and CVI all run over the same coax cabling, so this connector works across those formats as long as the cable itself is RG59 or RG6. Use it for terminating a new cable run, replacing a damaged connector, or repairing an existing install.
Build
The body is precision-machined metal, chosen for durability and corrosion resistance, which is worth having in mind for connectors that end up outdoors or in a loft void for years.
One thing worth checking before you buy a batch: confirm your cable is RG59 or RG6 before ordering, since a Q9 connector for the wrong cable gauge won't seat properly on the core.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cable types does this connector fit?
It's designed for RG59 and RG6 CCTV coaxial cable, the two most commonly used on CCTV installs.
Will it work with my HD camera system?
Yes, it's suited to analogue and HD-over-coax formats including TVI, AHD and CVI, since these all run over standard coax cabling.
What does 'spring loaded' actually mean here?
The internal contact presses against the cable core under spring tension, keeping the connection stable rather than relying on a fixed crimp point.
Is it suitable for outdoor cable runs?
The body is precision-machined metal for durability and corrosion resistance, which suits both residential and commercial installations.
