Well, this could be one of several, so do I get a point for each?

British Naval Connector
Bayonet Nut Connector
Bayonet Neill Concelman

Which are all types of connectors used with coaxial cables such as the RG-58 A/U cable used with the 10Base-2 Ethernet system...

:p

Pahh! I can remember when it was fat yellow RG213 with N-type connectors :p

I'd go with Bayonet Nut Connector too but aren't they also the initials of the guy that invented it?

BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman)

Invented by and named after Amphenol Engineer Carl Concelman and Bell Labs Engineer Paul Neill and was developed in the late 1940's.
That'll be them then!

Yeah but if you had a manual drill to tap into the cable your hand hurt like hell for days afterwards...
