Description
The N-Type connector is the premier choice for infrastructure-grade RF applications, valued for its high power handling and low attenuation at microwave frequencies. This male (plug) variant is specialized for the 10mm to 11mm (0.400″ – 0.430″) large-diameter cable class. Unlike crimp-style connectors which require specialized large-format hydraulic tools for thick-gauge cables, this variant utilizes a mechanical clamp termination system. This design employs a heavy-duty internal compression sleeve, pressure washers, and a rear fastening nut to secure the cable braid, providing an airtight, high-strength connection that can be assembled on-site with standard wrenches.
The clamp design is ideal for remote tower sites and outdoor installations where field-serviceability is critical. It ensures a superior mechanical and electrical bond by applying uniform pressure across the heavy-gauge outer conductor of cables like LMR400 or RG213. Manufactured with a reinforced nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and low VSWR up to 11 GHz. The integrated O-ring seals and compression-fit design provide an exceptional moisture barrier, making it essential for outdoor cellular towers, long-range antenna arrays, and marine communication systems.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Large-Diameter Precision Fit: Specifically calibrated for the 0.400-inch OD cable family, ensuring maximum pull-off resistance and an optimized electrical transition for heavy-duty coaxial lines.
-
Field-Installable Design: The clamp-style assembly allows for high-integrity terminations without the need for specialized large-diameter crimping tools, facilitating on-site repairs and custom jumper builds.
-
High-Power Capacity: Precision-engineered to handle the significant power levels typical of large feeder lines, maintaining thermal and electrical stability under heavy loads.
-
Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 5/8-24 threaded coupling provides a secure, locked connection that resists loosening in high-wind or high-vibration outdoor environments.
-
Rugged Environmental Protection: Features integrated gaskets and O-rings to provide an IP-rated seal, protecting the cable’s internal dielectric from moisture ingress and corrosion.

Really worth the price and the product quality is excellent. Packaging was secure and delivery was on time. Much better option for Indian customers instead of importing from outside India. Thank you AetherX!
