Barrel Adapter alfa network ASP-NF-NF N female to N female coaxial connector

The alfa network ASP-NF-NF barrel adapter is an N female to N female coaxial connector designed to join two N-type male cables or extend coaxial runs. It provides a direct mechanical and electrical connection without signal conversion, maintaining the characteristic impedance of N-type systems. The compact adapter is suitable for RF, antenna and networking applications where a reliable, low-profile coupling between N-type male connectors is required.

Advantages

This adapter offers a simple, tool-friendly design that enables quick field or indoor installation. It maintains electrical continuity and impedance consistency across the connection, reducing reflections and signal loss when used within its intended frequency range. The barrel form factor minimizes space usage while providing a stable mechanical connection between coaxial cables with N-type male ends.

Suitable for

• Extending coaxial runs with N-type male connectors
• Joining two RF cables for antenna installations
• Temporary or permanent connections in wireless networking setups
• Test and measurement connections requiring N-type interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: N female to N female
• Function: Gender adapter / barrel coupler for coaxial cables
• Impedance: compatible with standard N-type 50 Ω systems
• Construction: compact barrel-style body suitable for tight spaces
• Typical applications: RF, antenna systems, wireless networking

How to use

Align each N-type male connector with the adapter’s female ends and screw them together by hand until finger-tight, then use a torque wrench if specified by the cable or system manufacturer for final tightening. Ensure cable ends and connector threads are clean and free of debris before assembly to preserve signal quality and prevent damage. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread or connector damage; follow any torque values recommended for the specific cable assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter in environments appropriate for its mechanical construction and avoid exposing it to prolonged moisture or corrosive conditions unless additional sealing or weatherproofing is applied. For high-frequency or precision RF systems, verify compatibility with system impedance and maintain proper torque and cable strain relief to ensure optimal signal performance.
