Niels ,

good physics, . this is why i dont use BNC connectors.

The characteristic impedance of any coaxial transmission line is highly dependent on the "ratio" of the diameter of the shielding conductor to the diameter of the inner conductor.

Since the outer part of a BNC connector has fixed dimensions, it is only possible to change the characteristic impedance by varying the thickness of the inner conductor.

Dielectric properties ( the relative dielectric constant & the relative permeability ) matter more for the Velocity factor than for the impedance.
