TI Explorer used it as standard, but similar option was available for Symbolics machines in place of IIRC BNC.
Both were used to put consoles (display, mouse, keyboard) in the office while the possibly much louder central units and any attending extra gear would be placed in a dedicated computer room.
Made more sense when you consider things like TI Explorer having optional DSP coprocessor card which might be paired with various RF hardware for realtime processing.
