N F CLAMP for LMR400/RG8/RG11/RG213/RG393 Cable

Description

The N-Type female connector is a cornerstone of infrastructure-grade RF systems, valued for its high power handling and environmental resilience. This variant is specialized for the 10.3mm (0.405″) cable class, specifically optimized for high-performance LMR400 and double-shielded RG393. As a female interface (jack), it is often utilized in bulkhead configurations or as a primary receptacle for high-capacity jumper cables where a secure, threaded mating point is required.

Unlike crimp-style connectors that necessitate specialized tooling for large-gauge cables, this variant utilizes a mechanical clamp termination system. This design employs a internal compression sleeve and a rear fastening nut to secure the cable braid, providing a high-strength, reusable connection that can be assembled on-site with standard wrenches. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable operation up to 11 GHz. The integrated gaskets ensure a stable moisture barrier, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor communication arrays.

Key Technical Advantages

• Field-Installable Design: The clamp-style assembly allows for high-integrity terminations without the need for heavy crimping tools, facilitating efficient on-site repairs and custom cable fabrication.

• Large-Gauge Cable Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.405-inch OD cable family, ensuring maximum pull-off resistance and an optimized electrical transition for thick, low-loss coaxial lines.

• Superior Mechanical Stability: The mechanical clamp provides a robust 360-degree grip on the cable braid, ensuring excellent grounding and shielding effectiveness in high-interference environments.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 5/8-24 threaded outer shell ensures a secure, locked mating with male connectors that resists loosening in high-wind, marine, or high-vibration outdoor environments.

• High-Grade Materials: Features a nickel-plated brass body and a gold-plated center contact for maximum corrosion resistance and consistent signal clarity over the life of the product.
