Amateur radio

Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is the use of the radio frequency spectrum for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation, radiosport, contesting, and emergency communications.

See N connector and Amateur radio

Amphenol

Amphenol Corporation is an American producer of electronic and fiber optic connectors, cable and interconnect systems such as coaxial cables.

Cable television

Cable television is a system of delivering television programming to consumers via radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted through coaxial cables, or in more recent systems, light pulses through fibre-optic cables.

See N connector and Cable television

Coaxial cable

Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.

See N connector and Coaxial cable

Ethernet

Ethernet is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN).

See N connector and Ethernet

Gender of connectors and fasteners

In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female.

See N connector and Gender of connectors and fasteners

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.

See N connector and Hertz

Hewlett-Packard

The Hewlett-Packard Company, commonly shortened to Hewlett-Packard or HP, was an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Medium Attachment Unit

A Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) is a transceiver which converts signals on an Ethernet cable to and from Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) signals. N connector and Medium Attachment Unit are computer connectors.

See N connector and Medium Attachment Unit

Microwave

Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than other radio waves (as originally discovered) but longer than infrared waves.

See N connector and Microwave

Ohm

The ohm (symbol: Ω, the uppercase Greek letter omega) is the unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI).

See N connector and Ohm

Optical fiber connector

An optical fiber connector is a device used to link optical fibers, facilitating the efficient transmission of light signals.

RF connector

An RF connector (radio frequency connector) is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. N connector and rF connector are rF connectors.

See N connector and RF connector

Skin effect

In electromagnetism, skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases exponentially with greater depths in the conductor.

See N connector and Skin effect

SMA connector

SMA (SubMiniature version A) connectors are semi-precision coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s as a minimal connector interface for coaxial cable with a screw-type coupling mechanism. N connector and SMA connector are rF connectors.

See N connector and SMA connector

SMB connector

SMB (SubMiniature version B) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s. N connector and SMB connector are rF connectors.

See N connector and SMB connector

SMC connector

SMC (SubMiniature version C) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s. N connector and SMC connector are rF connectors.

See N connector and SMC connector

Spectrum analyzer

A spectrum analyzer measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument.

See N connector and Spectrum analyzer

Standing wave ratio

In radio engineering and telecommunications, standing wave ratio (SWR) is a measure of impedance matching of loads to the characteristic impedance of a transmission line or waveguide.

See N connector and Standing wave ratio

Transceiver

In radio communication, a transceiver is an electronic device which is a combination of a radio ''trans''mitter and a re''ceiver'', hence the name.

See N connector and Transceiver

UHF connector

The UHF connector is a name for a threaded RF connector. N connector and UHF connector are rF connectors.

See N connector and UHF connector

Ultra high frequency

Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter (one decimeter).

See N connector and Ultra high frequency

Unified Thread Standard

The Unified Thread Standard (UTS) defines a standard thread form and series—along with allowances, tolerances, and designations—for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada.

See N connector and Unified Thread Standard

United States Military Standard

A United States defense standard, often called a military standard, "MIL-STD", "MIL-SPEC", or (informally) "MilSpecs", is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.
