Description
The RP-TNC (Reverse Polarity TNC) series is a specialized variation of the TNC interface, standard in high-performance wireless networking to meet regulatory requirements for non-standard antenna connectors. In this Male (Plug) configuration, the connector maintains standard TNC male threads but features a female center socket instead of a pin. This variant is specifically optimized for the 10mm (0.400″) heavy-duty cable class, providing a precision termination for ultra-low-loss LMR400, military-spec RG213, and high-temperature RG393.
This connector utilizes a professional heavy-duty crimp termination system. The oversized outer ferrule creates a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s braid and shielding, while the internal socket is precision-machined to ensure high-conductivity signal transfer. Manufactured with a reinforced nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance up to 6 GHz. The threaded interface provides superior mechanical stability and EMI shielding compared to bayonet-style connectors, making it ideal for high-power industrial wireless links and mast-mounted antennas.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Reverse Polarity Compliance: Specifically designed for industrial Wi-Fi access points and long-range bridges that require RP-TNC interfaces for high-gain external antenna connections.
-
Large-Diameter Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.400-inch to 0.430-inch OD cable family, ensuring an optimized electrical transition and high-strength pull-off resistance for heavy-gauge coaxial lines.
-
Vibration-Proof Threaded Coupling: The 7/16-28 threaded mechanism prevents signal intermittent issues and accidental disconnection, essential for outdoor and mobile wireless installations.
-
Rugged 360° Crimp Termination: The heavy-walled ferrule provides a permanent, airtight grip on the cable jacket, protecting the internal dielectric from moisture ingress and environmental wear.
-
Superior Environmental Durability: The nickel-plated brass construction and PTFE dielectric offer excellent resistance to thermal cycling, oxidation, and UV exposure in demanding outdoor deployments.
