Percon 5116-V BNC Sleeve for RG179 and VK1 VK2 Cable | Red Tail Plastic Accessory

BNC Sleeve for Small Video Cables

The Percon 5116-V is a BNC sleeve, sometimes called a boot, that sits over the rear of the connector and protects the cable tail where it leaves the body. It is listed for RG 179, VK 1 and VK 2 cables, which are small-diameter video cables used in camera leads and patch cords where the cable exits can take heavy stress.

Protection at the Cable Exit

Bending and pulling cause most connector failures at the point where the cable leaves the BNC. A moulded sleeve spreads that load over a longer section of cable and keeps the shield and dielectric from kinking, which extends the life of the termination in demanding installations. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.

Material and Colour

The sleeve is made of moulded plastic and is supplied in red. The red colour is a practical identifier: crews can recognise a particular feed or cable type at a glance in a crowded rack, camera cart or outside broadcast truck. Check the specification against your project brief before placing an order. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.

Fitting the Sleeve

Slide the sleeve over the cable before the connector is crimped, because it cannot be fitted once the BNC is assembled. Check the sleeve matches the outer diameter of the cable, then tighten the crimp and verify that the sleeve sits flush against the body. Share the route and quantity with your enquiry so the quote matches the job.

Selecting the Right Sleeve

Choose the 5116-V when a small-diameter video cable such as RG 179 or VK 1 needs added strain relief at the BNC. For other cable types, check the sleeve diameter against the listed cable. Sleeves are sold as accessories and are quoted with the connectors they serve. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.
