Coaxial adapter MikroTik CA-NF-NF — N female to N female coax connector

MikroTik CA-NF-NF is a coaxial adapter with N female to N female connectors designed to join two N-type male coaxial cables or devices. The adapter provides a secure RF connection, maintaining continuity and mechanical stability in antenna systems, radio links, test setups and cable extensions where standard N-type interfaces are used. Its compact design allows use in tight spaces and field installations without introducing unnecessary signal interruption.

Advantages

The adapter offers OEM-quality construction for reliable electrical contact and mechanical fit. By using N female to N female terminations it enables straightforward connection between male-terminated cables or equipment, reducing the need to re-terminate or replace existing cables. The connector preserves RF continuity for frequencies typically handled by N-type interfaces and resists loosening in installations with moderate vibration or handling.

Suitable for

• Joining two N-type male coaxial cables
• Connecting antennas to radio equipment with male N connectors
• Temporary or permanent link extension in field installations
• Laboratory and test-bench setups for RF measurements

Key specifications

• Connector type: N female to N female
• Function: Coaxial RF coupling between N-type male terminations
• Typical use frequency range: compatible with N-type interface frequencies (VHF/UHF and microwave ranges depending on system)
• Mechanical design: compact inline adapter for limited-space installations
• Intended environments: indoor, outdoor field use with appropriate cable protection

How to use

Ensure both mating connectors are clean and free of dirt or debris before connection. Align the male N connectors with the adapter's female ends and hand-tighten the coupling nuts until secure; use a calibrated torque wrench only if specific torque values are required by the installation. Avoid cross-threading by starting connections gently and confirm full seating of the center contacts. For outdoor or long-term installations, add appropriate weatherproofing at the junction to prevent moisture ingress.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter where mechanical coupling between two male N-type terminations is required. Inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or wear, and avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the assembly. For critical RF links, verify VSWR or insertion loss after installation to ensure the adapter does not adversely affect system performance.
