Rock-Solid Hold: The Screw Lock for Your RF Applications
Forget shaky connections. This RP-TNC jack relies on a robust screw lock. Unlike simple plug-in or bayonet closures, this system offers superior mechanical stability. This makes it the top choice for all locations where absolute reliability is crucial – be it in vehicles with strong vibrations, in harsh industrial environments, or on Antenna Mounting Accessories exposed to wind and weather. Once tightened, this connection is guaranteed to hold.
Maximum Signal Integrity: Loss-Free Transmission up to 11 GHz
Every decibel counts in high-frequency applications. This jack is precisely designed with a 50 Ohm impedance to meet the demands of modern radio systems. The high-quality construction with gold-plated contacts ensures low-loss signal transmission over a broad frequency range up to 11 GHz. This way, you ensure that the full power of your Antenna truly reaches where it's needed – a crucial factor for high-performance WiFi Antennas and stable radio links.
Protection Against Misconnection: The Clever Reverse-Polarity Principle
The 'RP' in the name stands for 'Reverse Polarity' and is a clever protective feature. While a standard TNC jack has a female inner conductor (a hole), this RP-TNC jack has a male pin. This prevents you from accidentally connecting it with a standard TNC plug. This built-in mistake protection is mandatory in many WiFi systems and protects your sensitive devices from potential damage caused by incompatible components.
Precision in Your Hand: Assemble Your Own Antenna cables
With this crimp jack, you have full control. Instead of relying on pre-made Coaxial cables with standard lengths, you can assemble your Antenna cables with an RP-TNC jack yourself – precisely to the centimeter. This not only looks more professional but also avoids unnecessary Cable reserves that can weaken the signal through additional attenuation. All you need is a suitable crimping tool, and you can create your connections with professional quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What exactly does 'Reverse Polarity' mean for this RP-TNC jack?
Imagine it simply: Normally, a jack has a hole and a plug has a pin. Here, it's the other way around! Your RP-TNC jack has a male pin in the center. This is a clever protection so you don't accidentally connect it with standard TNC plugs and damage your devices.
Do I need special tools to attach the jack to the cable?
Yes, absolutely! For a professional and durable connection, you'll need a suitable crimping tool. Only then can you securely crimp the jack onto your Coaxial Cable and guarantee optimal signal quality. Unfortunately, assembly without the right tools leads to poor results.
Can I also use your RP-TNC jack outdoors?
Absolutely! TNC connectors are inherently very robust and weather-resistant due to their sturdy screw locking. For ultimate protection against moisture, however, we recommend wrapping the finished connection with self-amalgamating insulating tape. This ensures it's permanently secure.
What is the advantage of this TNC jack over a smaller SMA connector?
The biggest advantage is pure stability. TNC connectors are larger and mechanically much more robust than delicate SMA connectors. The firm screw connection is extremely vibration-proof. So, if you need a rock-solid and durable connection for your Antenna, this jack is the perfect choice for you.
Is this jack compatible with my H-155 or RF-240 cable?
Yes, 100%! This RP-TNC jack has been precisely developed for coaxial cables like the H-155, RF-240, LMR-240, or similar types with an outer diameter of approx. 5.4 mm. Both the inner pin and the crimp sleeve are perfectly matched to these cable dimensions, so you can establish an ideal connection.
How do I ensure this jack has the correct polarity for my device?
It's simple: Take a close look at the connector on your device, for example, your WiFi Router. If you see a pin in the center, this RP-TNC jack is exactly right for you. If your device, on the other hand, has a hole, you'll need an RP-TNC plug.
