Coaxial Cable Rangeful HF240-RPTNCM-NM-5 — 5 m, N Male to RP-TNC Male, RF cable

Rangeful HF240-RPTNCM-NM-5 is a 5-meter coaxial RF cable with an N male connector on one end and a reverse-polarity TNC (RP-TNC) male connector on the other. The cable provides a fixed-length, shielded connection for RF signal transmission between devices with compatible interfaces and is intended for use in test setups, antenna links, router connections and radio equipment interconnects where a durable coaxial lead is required.

Advantages

This coaxial cable combines the robust mechanical stability of an N male connector with the compact RP-TNC male end for space-constrained equipment. The 5 m length offers flexibility for equipment placement without introducing multiple adapters. The cable construction ensures consistent impedance and shielding to reduce signal loss and interference, delivering reliable RF carry-over across the length in typical VHF/UHF and related frequency applications. The fixed-terminations minimize connector play and simplify setup in permanent or semi-permanent installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting antennas to routers, modems or radios with matching N and RP-TNC interfaces
• Laboratory and test-bench RF measurements and signal routing
• Temporary and semi-permanent field installations requiring a 5 m coax lead
• Interfacing commercial radio equipment, repeaters and transceivers

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Connector A: N male
• Connector B: RP-TNC male (reverse polarity TNC)
• Impedance: 50 ohm (nominal)
• Cable type: RF coaxial cable with shielding for signal integrity
• Typical frequency range: suitable for VHF/UHF and related RF applications

How to use

Match the N male end to an N female jack and the RP-TNC male end to an RP-TNC female jack on the equipment. Ensure connectors are aligned before seating and finger-tighten the threaded N connector; secure the RP-TNC by gently pushing and ensuring the mating interface is fully engaged. Avoid excessive torque on connectors—use only hand-tightening or the manufacturer’s recommended torque tools if specified by the connected equipment. Route the cable to prevent sharp bends, kinks or tension that could damage the outer jacket or affect impedance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs as short as practical for the installation, protect connectors from moisture and contaminants, and avoid coiling the cable tightly near active transmitters. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the dielectric or shielding is compromised. When used in measurement setups, use calibrated reference cables and account for cable loss in results.
