How RF coaxial cable connectors work

September 05, 2024

An RF coaxial cable connector is a device for transmitting high frequency signals between coaxial cables, and its basic principle is based on the characteristics of coaxial cables. A coaxial cable consists of an inner conductor, an insulating layer, and an outer conductor, with an insulating layer between the inner and outer conductors forming a closed transmission channel.

RF Coaxial Cable Connectors work by connecting the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial cable to the inner and outer conductors of the connector, respectively, to achieve signal transmission. There is a metal shield inside the connector that prevents signal interference and leakage.

RF coaxial cable connectors are connected in two ways: crimp and solder. Crimp-style connectors require the use of specific tools to connect the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial cable to the inner and outer conductors of the connector, respectively. This type of connection provides a moisture- and debris-resistant barrier and provides a robust mechanical connection, but requires an accurate crimping die. Soldered connectors, on the other hand, require the use of a soldering iron to solder the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial cable to the inner and outer conductors of the connector, respectively. This type of connection requires a skilled operator, but offers higher performance and compatibility.

RF coaxial cable connectors are widely used in aerospace, military, and telecommunication fields, such as satellite communications, radio communications, and radar systems. It has the advantages of fast transmission speed, high signal quality, strong anti-interference ability, and is suitable for various high-frequency signal transmission occasions.
