CI cables
CI cables are ordinary 50 Ohm
coax cables with TNC connectors. If you rip off the bajonet shell of the BNC connector
you can use
cheapernet /
coax Ethernet cables. (TNC and BNC use the same inner part of the
connector. Only the locking shell is different.)
But this may be correct - the inner portion of a BNC/TNC connector
without the locking ring may just fit; they're all constant impedance
50 ohm connectors.
You can also use
TNC-to-BNC adapters and BNC cables. Or get a bunch of TNC connectors, a
crimp tool and convert your old cheapernet / coax Ethernet cables to CI
cables...
Modulo "N" to BNC adapters, yes.
