 - Nickel-plated brass body for enhanced corrosion resistance: Full nickel plating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance (the most weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant metal plating). This adapter ensures long-term performance even in challenging environments.
 - Premium RP-TNC-Female to TNC-Female Adapter Coupler is designed for seamless RF connectivity.
 
Compatibility with wireless applications:
- All Wi-Fi standards: 2.4GHz and 5GHz applications: Wi-Fi HaLow 802.11AH, Wi-Fi 6, WiFi 6E, 802.11AX, 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11A.
 - Cellular Wireless LTE / 4G, GSM / 3G WiMAX: Data and voice applications
 - IoT wireless, automation & Machine to Machine (M2M): Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, Wi-Fi HaLow, LTE-m, NB-IoT
 
Our antenna cable's range of frequency band compatibility (from 0 to 18GHz), consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear, makes it suitable and compliant for all the above applications.
ROHS & REACH compliant: All of our antenna cables and adapters are in compliance regarding content of toxic materials restricted by RoHS 3 and REACH.
TNC is a round screw-type connector, with nickel-plated brass.
- Nickel-plated brass is the best plating-alloy for corrosion-resistance.
 - TNC is similar to BNC except that whereas BNC has a slotted mating collar, RP-TNC has a screw-down type connector. TNC's screw-down connector performs better than BNC in the microwave spectrum.

Applications & Use Cases:
This adapter is widely used in wireless communications systems where equipment may have RP-TNC male and TNC male connectors. Common scenarios include:
- Connecting between Wi-Fi antennas and routers
 - Interfacing test equipment with varied connector standards
 - Custom installations where RP-TNC and TNC connector standards are mixed
 - Industrial and commercial RF setups requiring a stable and secure signal path
 
Understanding RP-TNC and TNC Connector Genders:
Reverse Polarity TNC connectors are designed to prevent inadvertent mating with standard TNC connectors. In this configuration, the RP-TNC female has external threads with a male pin, while the TNC female has external threads with a female socket. This adapter allows proper mating between a RP-TNC male and a TNC male.
Secure and Reliable Connection:
The threaded coupling mechanism ensures a stable and vibration-resistant connection, minimizing insertion loss and ensuring consistent RF performance across the frequency range.
