Kings are merely a manufacturer - you need to check the type of
connector. The safest by far are the SHV, which look like a pair of
stretched BNCs with the inner connectors reversed.

MHV just look like stretched BNC - and without too much effort you can
connect a BNC plug to an MHV socket. I've done it by accident, and so
could you.
