Description
The N-Type connector is the industry standard for infrastructure-grade RF applications, valued for its mechanical durability and superior signal integrity. This variant is specialized for the 10.3mm (0.405″) cable class, specifically optimized for RG11. While RG11 is frequently used in 75-Ohm video applications, this 50-Ohm N-Type connector is designed for high-performance RF transmission systems that utilize the heavy-gauge RG11 structure for its exceptional low-loss characteristics over long distances.
This connector utilizes a heavy-duty hex-crimp termination system for the outer conductor. This provides a high-strength, 360-degree mechanical bond that is highly resistant to pull-off and vibration, making it ideal for both tower-top and subterranean installations. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent electrical performance and low VSWR up to 11 GHz. The center contact is designed for soldering to ensure a permanent, high-integrity connection with the cable’s large center conductor, ensuring maximum power transfer and minimal signal reflection.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Low-Loss Transmission: Optimized for use with RG11 to maintain maximum signal strength over extended cable runs, making it ideal for primary antenna feeders and base station links.
-
Large-Gauge Precision: Specifically calibrated for the 0.405-inch OD cable family, providing a seamless mechanical fit and secure transition for thick-jacketed coaxial lines.
