BNC connectors

BuzzG · 2015-06-27 18:33:07

I folks, apologies if this is a dump question. Is there any shorting risk when BNC connectors from independent camera's come in contact with each other or should any contact of the connectors be avoided. Many thanks

If it's just the metal end connector itself it shouldn't matter as these are common ground. The center contact however should never touch the outside connector or other center contacts..
