What Is an RF Connector?
RF connectors are used to connect devices or cables for transmitting radio frequency signals.
They are essential in various devices like televisions, radios, measuring instruments, and Wi-Fi equipment, aiming to minimize signal loss and preserve frequency characteristics.
Common types include BNC, SMA, N-type, TNC, and F-type connectors. BNC connectors are preferred for low-frequency applications due to their ease of use, whereas SMA connectors, being compact, are better suited for higher frequencies. The choice of connector depends on factors such as frequency range, impedance (either 50 Ω or 75 Ω), durability, size, and installation convenience.
