About This Assembly
RFC240 Cable
RFC-240 is a 0.240" 50-ohm low-loss coaxial cable delivering performance comparable to LMR-240 at a more accessible price, making it popular for installers who need reliable medium-distance cable runs. Well suited for cellular repeater installations, point-to-point wireless links, and access point feedlines up to 75 feet.
N Connector
Type N is a threaded RF connector rated from DC to 18 GHz with a durable weatherproof design, making it the preferred interface for outdoor antenna installations, cellular base stations, and commercial wireless infrastructure. Its larger size compared to SMA allows higher power handling and the threaded coupling resists vibration, making it suitable for mobile and fixed outdoor applications.
SMA Connector
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
Common Applications
This N and SMA cable assembly is well suited for medium-length cellular and WiFi antenna runs at a value price point. The combination of reliable N and SMA connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RFC240 coaxial cable used for?
RFC-240 is a 0.240" 50-ohm low-loss coaxial cable delivering performance comparable to LMR-240 at a more accessible price, making it popular for installers who need reliable medium-distance cable runs. Well suited for cellular repeater installations, point-to-point wireless links, and access point feedlines up to 75 feet.
What is the signal loss of RFC240?
At 1800 MHz, RFC240 has approximately 11.3 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.113 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 6 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a N connector?
Type N is a threaded RF connector rated from DC to 18 GHz with a durable weatherproof design, making it the preferred interface for outdoor antenna installations, cellular base stations, and commercial wireless infrastructure. Its larger size compared to SMA allows higher power handling and the threaded coupling resists vibration, making it suitable for mobile and fixed outdoor applications.
