So many articles on how to attach a cable to a BNC connectors, and not a single one on the order of mounted ones.
What is the right order once you have put the connector into the box?
Washer first? Soldering thingie first?

@mavetju@aus.social I know adding extra connectors adds loss, but if space permits I always prefer a bulkhead-mounted female to female through-connector than a bulkhead-mounted cable end, and terminate all my cables with male BNC. Otherwise it’s a pain in the ass later if I need to disassemble it.

@mavetju@aus.social You want the lock washer to bite into the enclosure.
