Not sure I've fully understood - won't the BNC go straight on to the
MVC, and the other end of this BNC patch lead could have an RJ45 on
it if you wanted? I don't think you'll have much luck crimping the
screen reliably on the existing BNC coax. Crimp a short length of
cat5 onto an RJ45, and then solder to the BNC coax, with a bit of
heatshrink to make it look pretty, I reckon.
