It's 50 ohm, just like thinnet (which uses
different diameter cable
and different intrusive connectors, but the same value for termination

coupled a thicknet segment to a thinnet segment, but I _think_ it
should work with an N-to-BNC adapter, same impedance and all.
Yes, it does. Been there, done that, when the thinnet multiport
repeater failed. Re-strung cables to make one long thinnet segment
around the room and then put the N-to-BNC adapter between it and the
thicknet segment.
