About This Assembly

RGU178 Cable

RGU-178 is an ultra-flexible variant of the RG-178 coaxial cable, retaining the 1.75mm form factor while featuring a stranded center conductor and flexible jacket for repeated bending. It excels in applications requiring both a small footprint and mechanical durability, such as wearable devices, rotating joints, and flexible test leads.

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.

TNC Connector

TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) is the threaded version of BNC, offering improved performance up to 11 GHz and better vibration resistance through its screw coupling. It is commonly used in mobile radio antennas, avionics, and outdoor installations where BNC's bayonet lock would not provide sufficient mechanical security.

Common Applications

This N and TNC cable assembly is well suited for flexible pigtails for compact modules and repeated-bend applications. The combination of reliable N and TNC 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.
