Product details

UHF Reducing Adapter — Brass Body, Nickel Finish

The Amphenol RF 083-168 is a UHF-series reducing adapter, a passive interconnect accessory that steps between two different UHF connector sizes. It carries a nickel-plated brass body — the brass core gives the RF path a solid ground reference, and the nickel finish resists corrosion in field-service and instrument-rack environments. The adapter mates with standard UHF plugs on both ends, making it useful for adapting a larger-diameter cable assembly down to a smaller panel jack or for joining mismatched UHF-terminated runs.

Construction and Compatibility

Body material is brass, with a nickel body finish. For use with UHF plugs.

Frequently asked questions

What is a UHF reducing adapter used for?

A UHF reducing adapter like the 083-168 lets you connect two UHF-terminated cables or components of different diameters, or adapt a larger UHF plug down to a smaller panel jack. It is common in RF patch panels, antenna feed systems, and legacy two-way radio installations.
