NO! RG58 is 50ohm, 3270 is 93 Ohm so RG63....
What's the BNC for, then? As far as I knew, they only made
50 and 75-ohm BNC jacks. Or did they just use 75 ohm ones
and hope the brief blip on the TDR didn't do too much to
the signal?
All 3270 stuff uses BNC connectors. I don't know offhand which
impedance of BNCs they use (they look like 50-ohm to me) but at those
frequencies, a few MHz, the impedance bump really is minimal.
