[TowerTalk] RG-8X Crimp BNC Connectors

[Paul Christensen]

Does anyone know if there is a crimp style BNC connector made specifically
for RG-8X (Belden 9258)?  Are the geometries of RG-59 sufficiently close to
allow for connectorizing with a RG-59 BNC type?

I generally use crimp connectors for my indoor connections, but I am
concerned that a stranded inner conductor may not crimp properly.  Thanks!
