NOOO!!!!!!! NOT AGAIN! Not the dreaded "what does BNC mean?" string!
I thought we went through all this just a few months ago!
Oh well, better just settle back and wait for the flood of conflicting
responses....
Before you post one, though, is it a "definition" that isn't on the list
below (culled from memory of the previous go-round):
Baby "N" Connector
Bayonet "N" Connector
Bayonet Navy Connector
Any combination of names beginning with "B" and "N", supposedly the
inventors/designers/first users of such a connector.
A much more important question to ask, at this point, is why on Earth anyone
would CARE what "BNC" stands for? Tell you what - I'll make up a whole
NEW definition right here and now, and we can all simply decide that, from
this moment forth, "BNC" stands for:
Burgeoning Net Commentary!
There, now don't you feel better with this settled, so we can go on about
our *real* business here (that of building 75 kV stun guns and looking for
missing Joules :-)).
