 From my work on the AES Standards Committee Working Group on 
Connectors, I can tell you that junk and even counterfeit connectors are 
the problem, not the nominal Zo. Junk connectors of any sort are a 
constant source of problems. Only a fool buys anything but name brand 
connectors. This applies to ALL connector types -- UHF, BNC, RCA, DIN, 
XLR, 1/8-in, 1/4-in. For UHF, this means Amphenol. For XLR, RCA, 1/8-in, 
and 1/4-in this means Switchcraft and Neutrik. For DIN, that means 
Switchcraft and Preh. I don't work enough with BNCs to know the good mfrs.
