BNC Question -- sort of

[Fred Bloggs]

It is still a Twinax connector. We used that by the 1000's when I was at
Aydin Energy Systems for differential inputs. They were not that reliable.

Good call! I was wondering what on Earth the polarization is for- and
that is to prevent signal mixing and maintaining signal integrity in
computer networks:

The connectors can also be used for high-frequency balanced circuits.
While some analogue systems and digital protocols can tolerate polarity
inversion through the use of unpolarized connectors, others can't.

I have a short history of RF connector development
written and re-written by Hewlett-Packard from the 50's,

Would you be so kind as to give us the title, author, copyright date,
ISBN number, address given for Hewlett-Packard, etc. so that I can
verify this claim? Thanks!

I couldn't help noticing that Mr. Bloggs hasn't answered this, despite
lots of activity elsewhere in the newsgroup. I am beginning to have
certain suspicions...
