Since only ordered the RJ45 type, I can't tell you for sure; however, I note that the cards are only sold as RJ45-only or combo, and the difference in price is about the same as the difference between the RJ45 cable and the "BNC" cable, therefore I deduce that the "BNC" cable is in fact the combo adaptor! (never trust a catalogue).
