RG 59 with a stranded core Located in an elevator shaft. What connector or tool do you recommend?
What devices are you connecting to it?
Solder on a tip and terminate into a BNC.
To an EOC device then to an IP Camera
That's a traditional 4 part BNC which is soldered and crimped. Center is soldered after a spacer, inserted into the BNC housing and then the back is skid over and crimped. I did many of these.
Thanks. Do you know were we can purchase this connector from? Do we need a specialty tool or just just a crimp tool?
Do you know what gauge the center, stranded conductor is? Is there a brand and model label on the jacket? Being stranded, it's possibly smaller than your average 20AWG RG59 center core. You will likely need to solder each connection, unless you can find crimp center pins made for your specific wire gauge.
eBay?

I would search for BNC connector RG?? Solder type. Knowing the thickness of the center conductor will help.
They are generally not hard to find, depending on the gauge of wire and jacket type. If it is brand name cable, you will surely find appropriate connectors.
Embarassingly, I suck at soldering. Therefore, I have always used compression tools/connectors. Similar to those in this video:
We have done lots of camera work on elevators with stranded RG59 using these connectors with good results.
