<blockquote> | |||
Recently, Tektronix, Inc. made the decision to convert all Tektronix instruments having UHF connectors to BNC connectors and, also, that Tektronix instruments of future design will employ BNC connectors. | |||
The decision to convert the Tektronix product line to BNC connectors was based on the following facts: | |||
# BNC connectors offer lower input capacitance - an extremely important consideration in some applications. | |||
# BNC connectors have the requirements demanded by high-frequency instruments for good performance. | |||
# BNC connectors require less panel space and provide more finger room. Growing panel-density problems dictate their use. | |||
# BNC connectors are employed by the majority of manufacturers producing instruments used in conjunction with oscilloscopes. | |||
# BNC connectors are quicker and easier to connect and disconnect. | |||
