Is anybody familiar with this particular wire?
There are 2 possible Belden BNC connectors depending on gauge size which I believe will be 24AWG but would like confirmation.
This is all the info I have.
It wouldn't be a big deal but one connector is available and the other is not and if I can not get the correct BNC I need to rethink everything.

Almost looks like AudioQuest but seems too shiny. Maybe Straightwire?

Sound quest, I googled the number on the jacket.

Monster used to make a bundled wire that looks very similar, I'll net I have rca connectors for it floating around.

It doesn't look familiar but it did remind me of the hours/years spent managing all of those "garden hoses" in a rack.

You might be money ahead to get one of these [Link: monoprice.com] ,solder it on,add an RCA to BNC adapter,and call it a day.

It should only take a couple of minutes longer than a compression fitting.

I googled
wire E245026 and got Sound Quest.

But that is
Sound Quest E245026 Home Audio UL Listed (1) RG59 Coaxial (1) CAT5e & (2) 18AWG Condutor Wire

(I especially like the Condutor part.)
Is that what you've got? It doesn't seem to be. But you did not describe the wire. Yes, I want everything -- part number AND description.

Cant do it for HDMI. RCA is not 75 ohm.

It also guarantees a service call in a couple of years because an the hot leads of an adaptor are another point of failure. Early in my career, my first encounter with BNCs (outside of lab and measurement situations) was with and RGBHV video signal that had five such adaptors.

I never had a problem with it.
I guess I used better "adapters".

I do agree with connections being a potential point of failure.
