A coaxial plug, or coaxial connector, is a type of radio frequency (RF) connector that is often used with coaxial cable. Though commonly associated with a standard RF Connector used in analogue television and radio arrays, there are actually several different kinds of coaxial connector suited to a variety of specialist RF applications.
Types of coaxial plugs:
BNC Connector is a miniature RF connector with a bayonet locking system, and is commonly used in television, radio and test instruments.
TNC Connector is a threaded version of the BNC connector.
UHF Connector is a threaded RF connector that has applications in amateur radio arrays and VHF radio.
F Connector is an RF Connector commonly used to connect satellite television and cable modems.
N Connector is a threaded RF Connector that is known for its weather proof properties.
SMA/SMB/SMC are sub miniature RF connectors. Versions A, B and C are all feature 50 Ohm impedance, and differ by their threaded, snap on, and hex nut coupling, respectively.
MCX is a micro coaxial connector that is a smaller version of the SMB connector, often used in Wi-Fi antennas.
