This link seems to say that CI cables use TNC connectors.

Seems they make them in different lengths, so I don't see why you
couldn't cut them and put new TNC connectors on the ends. Just make sure
you get the right TNC connectors for the cable type.

Subject: Anyone knows how to make CI cable (a kind of BNC cable)?
Hi,
my CI cables are too long for my little basement computer room. I get
all tangled up in the coils. OTOH I need a few more cables. So, how hard
will it be to just cut the cables in half and mount new connectors? This
cable is very similar to thick wire ethernet, but not the same. Does it
require special tools?
regards,
-Gunther
