Hi Paul, I also found an example of the HD BNC connector - It is interesting.

HI Paul, "I don't know what "HD BNC" means. There's only one BNC" Years ago when working in a university with Photomultiplier tubes, we used HV BNC connectors - these looked like standard BNC, but were rated at 10kv.

You need a video cable with a 3W3 connector on one end. Original was likely a DEC BC29G-10. That, plus 5BNC-to-VGA cables, and 3 F/F BNC barrels, will work with a multisync monitor that handles sync-on-green. I just went through this with several DECstations, where the Turbochannel graphics

I don't know what "HD BNC" means. There's only one BNC. By 3W3 do you mean the D-sub shell with 3 coax inserts? Those are standard items, you could just buy one. The only problem you might encounter is that the cable connector kind is probably crimped, and the crimp tooling is likely
