Twist-on BNC connectors

Those ARE BNC, Robert. What the OP was asking was whether or not the way
the cable was attached to the connector could be one of the kind where you
simply strip the outer sheath back an inch or so, strip the center insulator
back a quarter of an inch, put a threaded ferrule over the outer shield of
the connector, slide the inner insulator into the body of the connector and
then thread the ferrule into a mating thread on the connector. No crimp, no
solder.

The consensus, and I heartily agree, that those "twist on" BNC connectors
aren't worth powdered bat **** as an RF connector, much less an aircraft RF
connector.

Are they acceptable for avionics use?

I wouldn't recommend them.
Maybe as a temporary emergency repair, but not for something you want to
depend on.

I always thought that the half turn connectors that are the standard
in avionics were called BNC. If not, what are they called?

Done that lately, Ron?

BNC is used with 10Base2 ethernet cables. 10Base2 has been obsolete for
almost a decade. Maybe you shop in a better computer store than I do, but
I know all the ones I frequent wouldn't even know what a coax network
cable was.

I bought some cables when I installed the handheld in the panel, about two-three
years ago. I called the place a "computer store" because I bought my VIC-20
from them about twenty-five years ago, and old habits die hard. :-)

But they haven't sold actual computers for about fifteen years, switching to
electronics parts and test equipment for the local hobbyists and repairmen.

I dunno about that, Jim. Prices seem to be going up.
