Of course, never claimed otherwise. Only said TNC is same inside as a BNC, only threaded, which makes it more secure and less likely for EMI/RFI interference due to leakage from the wobbling bayonet lock joint. However, for speed in cable connect/disconnect, BNC wins. Hardly any hams/experimenter use TNC. A shame. I have sold tons of every kind of connectorized widget in 26 years of eBay, and only a handful of TNC stuff. Real shame actually as nice stuff. A lot came from scrapping NASA stuff from Goddard SFC.?

Well, BNC connectors have more mechanical play (by design) than TNC. You can see that on a VNA when you wiggle the BNC. I therefore rate TNC higher than BNC.
