Product Description
TNC Male Coaxial Connector for RG-58/U
The TNC Male Coaxial Connector for RG-58/U is a rugged, threaded RF connector designed to provide a secure 50-ohm connection to RG-58/U coaxial cable. Its threaded coupling mechanism delivers a reliable connection that is well suited for applications exposed to vibration, movement, and demanding operating conditions.
Unlike a BNC connector's bayonet-style coupling, the TNC connector uses a threaded interface that helps prevent accidental disconnection while providing excellent mechanical stability and dependable RF signal transfer.
Key Features
