all of my usb midi devices still use the b connector, as does my external hd.

usb-b is the best usb imo

also it works super well, rated up to like 18GHz as a standard

the 3.5mm variant goes to 34GHz which is insane

BNC is like 4 lol

what even uses regular BNC in 2018? all i can come up with is cheapo oscilloscopes, arduino controlled stuff for ~makers~, and that legacy machine vision/cctv cam that hasn’t been written off yet

full size handheld ham rigs still use it, but that's more because they're often built on commercial chassis, which are designed for wacky poo poo like TNC or other weird larger connectors for durability. theyd have to have a dinky SMA in the middle of a spacer or something

imo the only good way to use a BNC in 2018 is to file the bayonet lugs off of the jack, and you now have a quick-disconnect breakaway RF connector that's decent to a gig or two. if you're fuckin around operating in a field or something and catch the antenna coax with your foot, saves your radio from tumbling down into the mud

its a valid connector as it has less loss at uhf+ than pl259/so239 and is more compact than n

tnc is really what should be used but its a rare connector if you're not an old motorola mobile radio

what's really fun is when you have a mixed bag of 50 and 75 ohm bnc that someone bought surplus and has used to assemble cables for customers

the ham thread is over there

but yeah there's a combo of a 50/75 ohm bnc connection that still works, the other way is intermittent at best and destroys the connector if there's any repetitive movement or you pass more than handheld radio power through it

WUT.
dont you just look at whether it has the plastic dielectric? i think 50 ohm has it, 75 doesnt

this is as dumb as the people getting flustered about usb A. just look at the plug. it has an obvious top and bottom, as does the jack you're putting it into. if you cant see the jack, you can make an assumption based on how the circuit board is probably mounted in there, and if not, well, you gotta try once and then you know for next time

I don’t get it either, and it’s not even like the case of mDP and DP where we can pretend those latches on the big one are totally going to keep it from dropping out the port in industrial applications.
