Rf Coaxial Adapters From Cmpter Electronics

There are three main types of RF adapters: coaxial, waveguide, and coaxial/waveguide. Coaxial RF adapters

connect two dirrerent types of coaxial cable, or terminate a coaxial port. Waveguide RF adapters connect two

different types of waveguides, or terminate a waveguide port. Coaxial / waveguide adapters connect a coaxial

cable to a waveguide, or vice-versa. Product specifications to consider when selecting RF adapters include

frequency range, maximum input power, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), return loss, and adapter style.

VSWR is a measure of the amount of RF power reflected back to the signal source because of impedance

mismatches. Styles for RF adapters include straight jack-jack, straight jack-plug, straight plug-plug, angled

jack-jack, angled jack-plug, angled plug-plug, jack-jack-jack tee, plug-plug-plug tee, plug-jack-plug tee, jack-

jack-plug tee, and plug-plug-jack tee.
