N-Type Cable Assemblies
Control feedline loss on long antenna runs while leaving room for cable bends and connector access. Specify 50 Ω N Type cable assemblies in N-to-N configurations or with SMA, RP-SMA, BNC or TNC at the opposite end. Cable options include LMR-400 for low-loss feeds. Selected precision microwave assemblies support up to 18 GHz. Straight and right-angle ends accommodate tight routing, with bulkhead mounting and weather sealing available where required. Request a quote for custom RF cable assemblies with the finished length, operating band, insertion loss and VSWR limits, and PIM test conditions where applicable.

N Type Cable Assembly Applications
N Type cable assemblies are suited to RF paths that are long, exposed, high-power, or sensitive to passive intermodulation.
Low-PIM links between antennas, radios, and distribution equipment.
Weather-sealed, low-loss feeds for extended cable runs.
Connections for transmitters, amplifiers, and RF distribution systems.
Secure threaded interconnects for laboratory, field, and vehicle equipment.
What Is an N Type Cable Assembly?
An N Type cable assembly is a ready-to-install 50 Ω RF interconnect made from coaxial cable terminated with an N Type connector on one or both ends. The larger threaded interface is commonly chosen for antenna feeds, RF equipment links, and longer cable runs where secure mating, low loss, higher power capacity, or outdoor durability matters.

N Type Cable Assembly FAQs
What is the maximum frequency of a custom N Type cable assembly?
Standard N Type assemblies operate through 11 GHz, while selected extended-frequency builds support up to 18 GHz. The actual limit depends on the cable, connector design, length, body style, power level, and required VSWR.
Can an N Type assembly use a different connector on the other end?
Yes. Mixed-interface assemblies can connect N Type to SMA, BNC, TNC, QMA, 7/16 DIN, and other compatible RF interfaces. Both ends can be specified by series, gender, orientation, and mounting style.
How much RF power can an N cable assembly handle?
Power handling depends on the cable diameter, connector transition, frequency, VSWR, ambient temperature, and installation conditions. Provide the CW and peak power levels so the complete assembly can be sized and verified for the application.
Are waterproof N Type cables available?
Yes. Selected assemblies use IP67-rated type N connectors with compatible bulkheads, sealing boots, strain relief, and weather-resistant jackets. The IP rating applies under the specified mating and installation conditions.
Can you provide low-PIM N Type cable assemblies?
Yes. Low-PIM cables and connector combinations are available for antenna, DAS, and wireless-infrastructure applications. Specify the required PIM limit, test frequencies, and test power to receive a configuration-specific report.
