And therefore there's no mechancial problem in

(the other end of the cable has an RCA phono plug on it, well known for
not having a defined characteristic impedance). Any mismatch at the BNC
end would cause no problems.
Back when I was networking with 10B2, I picked up a quantity of 75ohm BNC
plugs for very cheap. The cable size mismatch was apparent, but not the
inner conductor as far as I could tell. I simply grabbled some soft
thinwall copper tubing and used it as a shim over the sheild braid. It
worked fine.
