N-Type Plug for RG Cable — 50 Ohm, 11 GHz
The Amphenol RF 172142-11 is an N-type plug with a male pin, designed for crimp termination onto RG-55, 142, 223, and 400 cable groups.
Cable Prep and Termination — Crimp Both Centre and Shield
The threaded coupling nut provides the fastening — no tool required beyond a torque wrench for the final snug.
Voltage, Mating Cycles, and Weatherproofing
Rated for 1500 V and 500 mating cycles, with a weatherproof ingress protection rating — the threaded interface and O-ring seal keep moisture out when mated. The 500-cycle figure is typical for an N-type; the gold plating on the centre contact helps maintain low resistance through repeated connects and disconnects in field-service scenarios.
