This video shows how to install a crimp-on style BNC connector onto RG-316 coaxial cable, or other 0.100" OD coax such as RG-174, RG-188, Belden 83269, 83284, 84316, etc. The connectors used here were purchased from Max-Gain Systems in Marietta, GA (no sponsorship or other relationship to W2AEW). I found their prices to be good, and quality of the connectors appears to be very good. Their website is:

The particular connector used in the video is their p/n: 7005-BNC-174
