L-com AXA-NFRSP N-Female to RP-SMA Plug RF Adapter
The L-com AXA-NFRSP is a straight coaxial adapter for connecting equipment and cable assemblies with different RF interfaces. Its N-female connector accepts a standard N-male connector, while its reverse-polarity SMA plug connects to an RP-SMA jack.
Designed for RF interface conversion, the adapter supports laboratory interconnections, equipment retrofits and suitable antenna-feed connections. Its 50-ohm impedance and DC-to-11 GHz operating range must be matched to the requirements of the complete RF system.
Key Features
- Standard N-female to reverse-polarity SMA plug configuration.
- 50-ohm impedance.
- Specified frequency range from DC to 11 GHz.
- Straight body with threaded connections.
- Nickel-plated brass body.
- Gold-plated brass contacts.
Connector Configuration
The RP-SMA plug has an internally threaded coupling and a female center contact. It mates with an RP-SMA jack that has external threads and a male center pin. Check both the threads and center contact before selecting an adapter.
RF System Integration
The AXA-NFRSP changes the physical connector interface. It does not change the radio's operating frequency, wireless protocol or antenna requirements. Verify the frequency range, impedance and electrical limits of every component in the connection.
Ideal Applications
- RF test-bench connections between N and RP-SMA interfaces.
- Coaxial equipment retrofits.
- Antenna-feed connections requiring this connector combination.
- OEM RF interconnection assemblies.
Compatible Products
The AXA-NFRSP connects a standard N-male interface to an RP-SMA jack in a suitable 50-ohm RF system. Frequency, electrical ratings and the requirements of the connected equipment must also match.
Important: The adapter's RP-SMA plug requires an RP-SMA jack. Standard SMA and RP-SMA are not interchangeable, and an antenna's N-female connector will not connect directly to this adapter's N-female side.
