"RP-BNC" stands for "Reverse-Polarity BNC". RP-BNC Connectors [1] are
the cousins of BNC-Connectors [2], and provide identical performance.
Reverse-Polarity connectors differ only by the gender of their center
contact. For example, a male plug has a female center contact.
Reverse-Polarity connectors are commonly used on 802.11 [3] gear due
to America's FCC [4] requirements (Part 15.203) where by such
equipment needs non-standard connectors.
