RF Cables High Performance Signal Transmission for Wireless Networks

Selecting the right RF cable connector is very important. For example, SMA connectors are optimal for mobile and test equipment due to their small size and high-frequency capabilities, reaching 18 GHz. N-type connectors are well known for their ruggedness and dependability; working well up to 11 GHz for outdoor and high-power use. For video and lower frequency RF applications, BNC connectors are very popular due to their speed in connecting and disconnecting. As with all connectors, type of cable, frequency range, power handling capacity, and mechanical requirements must be considered.
