Spelling: NConnector
An N-Connector [1] is a coaxial cable [2] connector designed for radio
frequencies up to 11 GHz over 50 Ohm cable. Designed (and named) after
Paul Neill at Bell Labs, it was developed in the 1940's as the first
connector designed for microwave applications. It was also designed
for rugged professional use, and is highly durable and weather-proof
(but not water-proof).
The N-Connector [3] has become somewhat of a standard in professional
use from 200 MHz to 11 GHz, since it performs excellently, and
terminates natively to RG-8 [4], RG-213 [5], and of course LMR-400
[6].
N-Connector [7] assemblies are available for almost all coaxial cable
[8] types. It's standard to wire a cable with male connectors at
either end, and use female connectors on antennas and radio equipment.
