The Universal Termination for Your RF System up to 6 GHz
Whether you're taking measurements in the lab, operating a complex Antenna system, or simply want to cleanly terminate an unused port on your splitter – this termination resistor is your reliable partner. Its extremely wide frequency range from direct current (DC) up to 6 GHz makes it an all-purpose tool for your Network. It effortlessly covers everything from amateur radio to mobile communications (4G/5G Routers) and the latest Wi-Fi 6E. This ensures you are well-equipped for current and future applications, including those using TP-Link, Ubiquiti Networks, MikroTik, or Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers.
Signal Integrity in Perfection: Why a Terminator is So Important
An open Antenna connection acts like a mirror for radio signals. It reflects energy back into the system, leading to so-called standing waves. These disturbances can massively impair the performance of your entire Network or falsify measurement results. The JARFT Terminator absorbs this unwanted energy and, with its precise 50-Ohm impedance and excellent VSWR value, ensures a clean, reflection-free termination. The result: maximum performance and stability for your application, whether you're dealing with WiFi Antennas, 5G Antennas, or 4G / 4G Outdoor Antennas.
Built for Eternity: Robust Materials for Professional Use
This Coaxial Terminator for unused Antenna sockets is designed for continuous professional use. The housing made of nickel-plated brass is not only mechanically extremely stable but also optimally protected against corrosion. The crucial center contact is gold-plated. This is not a luxury but a technical necessity: gold prevents oxidation and guarantees a permanently low contact resistance – a prerequisite for lossless signal transmission at high frequencies, essential for reliable Cabling and Coaxial Connectors.
Areas of Application: From the Test Bench to the Antenna System
The application possibilities are diverse. Terminate unused outputs on Antenna switches, splitters, or couplers to secure signal quality on active ports. Use it in measurement technology to perform reference measurements or protect sensitive device inputs. This Terminator is also the perfect choice for temporarily terminating an Antenna Cable during maintenance work. Thanks to the robust N-Connector, a secure and stable connection is always guaranteed, whether for your UniFi Access Points or MikroTik Access Points & Router. It's also compatible with various Coaxial Adapters and Coaxial Pigtails.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use this terminator for my SAT or cable TV system?
No, absolutely not! Your SAT and cable TV system operates with an impedance of 75 Ohms, but this terminator has 50 Ohms. This would lead to massive signal interference. You absolutely need a 75-Ohm terminator, usually with an F-connector.
Does this N-connector fit my WiFi Router with an RP-SMA connection?
No, it doesn't fit directly. This terminator has a large N-connector for professional applications. Your WiFi Router probably uses small RP-SMA connectors. For a direct connection, you need a terminator with the appropriate connector, or you can use a suitable adapter.
Why is the small pin in the middle gold-plated? Is it just for aesthetics?
The gold plating is an important technical feature! Gold conducts excellently and does not oxidize. This guarantees you a perfect, interference-free contact even after years – crucial for clean signal quality, especially at high frequencies up to 6 GHz.
My device has an unused N-jack. Is this N-connector terminator the right one for me?
Yes, this is exactly what you need! The rule is simple: a plug (male, with pin) always fits into a jack (female, with hole). Since your connection is a jack, this N-connector is the perfect counterpart to properly seal the port.
Does the terminator also work for lower frequencies like 144 MHz?
Yes, absolutely! The frequency range 'DC - 6 GHz' means that it reliably operates from direct current (0 Hz) up to 6000 MHz. So, your application at 144 MHz is well within the specifications and will be perfectly covered.
What does the value 'VSWR ≤ 1.20:1' mean, and is it good?
VSWR measures how strongly a signal is reflected. A perfect value would be 1:1 (no reflection). A value of 1.20:1 is excellent and shows that almost no disruptive reflections occur. This is a clear quality feature for a clean termination of your system.
