TNC F RP CRIMP for RG58/RG142/LMR195/LMR200 Cable

Description

The RP-TNC (Reverse Polarity TNC) series is a specialized variation of the TNC interface, standard in wireless networking to comply with regulatory requirements for non-standard antenna connectors. In this Female (Jack) configuration, the connector maintains standard TNC female external threads but utilizes a male center pin instead of a socket. This variant is specifically optimized for the 5mm (0.195″ – 0.200″) cable class, providing a precision termination for versatile cables ranging from standard RG58 to low-loss LMR195 and LMR200.

This connector utilizes a professional crimp termination system. The outer ferrule provides a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s shielding, while the internal center pin is precision-machined to ensure a secure electrical path when mating with RP-TNC male plugs. Manufactured with a heavy-duty nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and low VSWR up to 6 GHz. The threaded design provides superior mechanical stability and EMI shielding compared to bayonet-style connectors, making it ideal for high-performance WLAN infrastructure and outdoor wireless deployments.

Key Technical Advantages

• Reverse Polarity Compliance: Designed specifically for wireless routers and access points that require RP-TNC female interfaces for external antenna connections.

• Universal 5mm Cable Fit: Specifically calibrated for the 0.195 to 0.200-inch OD cable family, ensuring an optimized electrical transition and high-strength pull-off resistance.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 7/16-28 external threads provide a secure mechanical lock, preventing signal intermittent issues in high-vibration industrial environments.

• Rugged 360° Crimp Termination: The precision ferrule provides a permanent, airtight grip on the cable jacket, protecting the internal dielectric from moisture ingress and mechanical stress.

• Superior Environmental Durability: The nickel-plated brass construction and PTFE dielectric offer excellent resistance to thermal cycling and oxidation in demanding indoor and outdoor deployments.
