A well made...
...BNC connector has a 0.2 dB loss at 3 GHz.
I can't even find a number at our VHF nav frequencies, but it will be much less.
As long as your connectors are good quality ones and correctly assembled, you wan't even detect a loss in performance....

For comparison, the loss (at nav freq) in 15 feet of RG-400 co-ax is around 0.7 dB, and no-one worries about a nav cable that is this length.
