There is a jungle of different RF Coaxial Connectors that can be used in wireless systems. So here is a small RF Connector Frequency chart that can be used as a reference chart to tell you the max frequency (cutoff frequency) of each connector type. It is recommended not to operate RF Connectors above their max frequency limit to ensure electrical performance of the system.
Connector type | Frequency Limit |
---|---|
UHF | 300 MHz |
Mini-BNC | 1 GHz |
F-type | 1 GHz |
G-type | 3 GHz |
BNC | 4 GHz |
SMB | 4 GHz |
N-type | 11 GHz |
C-type | 11 GHz |
SSMB | 12.4 GHz |
SMC | 10 GHz |
SMA | 25 GHz |
3.5mm | 26.5 GHz |
MCX | 6 GHz |
K-type | 40 GHz |
TNC | 15 GHz |
