It looks like an N type connector: -

Here's a picture of a BNC to N type converter (male and female versions): -

\$\begingroup\$ Any issues with power through the BNC? It will be passing upto 250W..? \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ I don't use them for power applications - just for connecting to an old spectrum analyser - according to the wiki link the N type OK for 5kW at 20MHz and 500W at 2GHz. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Do not use a BNC connector at 250W.....but it actually depends on your frequency. N-type will likely be able to handle whatever you can throw at it. (I'm assuming that, because you're asking, you don't have a 2 GHz 1KW CW amplifier lying around). \$\endgroup\$
