Spelling: RPTNCConnector
"RP-TNC" stands for "Reverse-Polarity TNC". RP-TNC Connectors [1] are
the cousins of TNC-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. Although less common, another
modified TNC [5] solution to satisfy the FCC [6] requirements is to
use a "reversed-thread [7]".
