No-one really know the definative answer but British Naval Connector does crops up.

Also Bayonet Nut Connector or Bayonet Neill Concelman

Sadly I already know the answer to this question without Google.

But all knowing Tom can you tell me how many people out there don't know how to use Google and posted all there would be easy to find answers on forums?

BNC connector


The Bayonet Neill-Concelman (sometimes wrongly called the British Naval
Connector) is a type of RF connector used for terminating coax cable. Some
authorities expand the abbreviation as Baby Neill-Concelman - it is a lot
smaller than N and C connectors.

The BNC connector is one of a larger class of "bayonet connectors", named
after the resemblance to the standard twist-on attachment for a bayonet.
Named after Paul Neill of Bell Labs (inventor of the N connector) and
Amphenol engineer Carl Concelman (inventor of the C connector), the BNC was
originally designed as a miniature form of the Type C connector.

It is commonly used on 10base2 thin Ethernet networks, both on cable
interconnections and network cards.

A threaded version of the BNC connector, known as the TNC connector (for
Threaded Neill-Concelman) is also available. It has superior performance to
the BNC connector at microwave frequencies.
