No. Caution should be exercised in electrical systems fitted with both BNC and MHV connections. BNC and MHV connections are almost identical in appearance and geometry and should never be cross-mated since their electrical ratings are not compatible. BNC connections are rated to 500VDC while MHV connections can handle voltages as high as 5000VDC.
