That would be a surprise to me, but I suppose it's
not impossible. I
know we had a problem a few years back confusing 50 and 75 ohm N
connectors; plug in the wrong one and you'll either potentially damage
the receiving end or get an intermittent, hard-to-diagnose connection
(and, obviously, impedance mismatch problems).
This is generally not a problem with BNC, unless they are cheap, picky
connectors. It is a problem with N, however.
Most BNCs can be sorted into 50 and 75 Ohm by looking to see if there
is air around the female end.
