Your Connection: Professional and Rock-Solid
You might know the feeling: a self-made Cable, a shaky connection, and suddenly your WiFi signal collapses. With this RP-TNC Connector for H-155, that's a thing of the past. It was developed to provide you with a connection that is not only electrically perfect, but also mechanically indestructible. The solid screw connection ensures a firm fit that won't loosen even with vibrations. Ideal for producing high-quality Antenna cables for professional use yourself.
RP-TNC: What 'Reverse Polarity' Means for Your Security
The 'RP' in the name stands for 'Reverse Polarity' and is a clever safety feature. Outwardly, the connector looks like a normal TNC connector, but the central contact is reversed: instead of a pin (male), you'll find a socket (female) here. This prevents you from accidentally connecting devices with standard TNC connections that are not compatible. This way, you protect the sensitive electronics of your WiFi Router or WiFi Access Point from potential damage due to mismatch.
Precision Through Crimp Mounting for Best Signal Quality
For low-loss high-frequency transmission, the quality of the connector is crucial. This Antenna Connector RTNC-P-H155 for RF-240 is mounted using a crimp process. This means it is firmly and permanently pressed onto the Cable with a special crimping tool. This method is far superior to soldering for Coaxial cables, as it ensures consistently high signal quality without interference. Please note that you will need the appropriate tool for mounting to achieve a perfect result.
Maximum Compatibility for Your Project
This RP-TNC Coaxial Connector for self-assembly is the ideal partner for common 'Low Loss' Coaxial cables such as H-155, RF-5, or RF-240. These Cable types are known for their excellent attenuation values and are frequently used for demanding WiFi Antennas installations. The connector is precisely matched to the dimensions of these Cables (approx. 5.4 mm outer diameter), which facilitates assembly and ensures an optimal electrical and mechanical connection.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The screw connection is extremely secure and vibration-resistant, perfect for demanding environments.
- Pro: The RP design protects your hardware from damage by connecting incompatible devices.
- Pro: Suitable for frequencies far beyond the WiFi standard, making it very future-proof.
- Pro: Very robust and durable construction due to high-quality materials like brass.
- Note: A special crimping tool is required for assembly. Assembly without the appropriate tool will lead to poor performance.
- Note: The connector is intentionally not compatible with standard TNC sockets. Carefully check the connection on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need special tools to attach this connector to my cable?
Yes, absolutely! Because this is a crimp connector, you'll need a suitable crimping tool for cables like the H-155 or RF-240. Without the right tool, you won't achieve a clean and stable connection, which would severely impact the signal quality of your Network setup.
What exactly does 'RP' mean in RP-TNC?
Great question! 'RP' stands for 'Reverse Polarity'. Imagine it this way: The connector has the large screw thread of a typical connector, but the contact pin in the center is 'reversed'. Instead of a pin, you'll find an opening there. This is a clever protection to prevent you from accidentally connecting devices that are not technically compatible, especially for WiFi Antennas or WiFi Routers.
Can I also use this connector for my regular TV Antenna cable?
No, you absolutely should not. This connector is specifically designed for high-frequency applications like WiFi with a 50 Ohm impedance. Your TV cable, however, has 75 Ohm. An incorrect combination will lead to massive signal loss and can damage your devices, impacting your WiFi Network performance.
Does this RP-TNC connector fit every WiFi Router with a detachable antenna?
Not every one. Many home WiFi Routers use the smaller RP-SMA standard. You'll find RP-TNC more commonly on professional devices, for example from Cisco or industrial WiFi Access Points. So, take a close look at the port on your device before you order.
Is the connector waterproof if I want to use it outdoors?
The connector itself is not officially certified as waterproof. While the tight screw connection offers good protection against splashes, for permanent outdoor use, we recommend wrapping the connection with self-vulcanizing sealing tape. This will optimally protect your Antenna Cables from moisture.
Which cable is better suited for this connector: H-155 or RF-240?
You don't need to worry; you'll make an excellent choice with either. Both the H-155 and RF-240 are high-quality 'Low Loss' Antenna Cables, and this connector is perfectly matched to them. Technically, they are almost identical, so just pick whichever is more readily available for you.
