RF Industries RFN-1013-1 N Female Barrel Adapter 50 Ohm PTFE

The RF Industries RFN-1013-1 is a straight barrel adapter designed for in-line RF interconnect applications requiring a reliable N Female to N Female junction. Built to a 50-ohm impedance standard, it is suited for use in RF distribution systems, antenna feed lines, test bench setups, and field installations where two N-type male-terminated cables or components must be coupled without introducing unnecessary impedance discontinuity. The silver-plated body provides corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity, while gold-plated pin contacts minimize contact resistance and resist oxidation over repeated mating cycles. The PTFE dielectric delivers stable electrical performance across a wide operating range, making this adapter a dependable passive component for both permanent installations and temporary patching scenarios.

Key features & benefits

• N Female to N Female In-Line Coupling — Straight barrel configuration allows two N-type male connectors to be joined end-to-end, extending cable runs or bridging equipment ports without additional hardware.
• 50-Ohm Impedance Matched — Designed to maintain the 50-ohm system impedance standard common in RF and microwave infrastructure, helping to minimize signal reflection at the connection point.
• Gold-Plated Pin Contacts — Gold plating on the pin contacts resists oxidation and corrosion, preserving low-resistance electrical contact across repeated connect and disconnect cycles.
• Silver-Plated Body — The silver-finished body offers favorable conductivity characteristics and resistance to environmental degradation in rack, panel, and field-mounted applications.
• PTFE Dielectric — Polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric material provides excellent electrical insulation stability and low dielectric loss, contributing to consistent RF performance.
• Straight Barrel Assembly — The straight inline form factor keeps cable routing clean and compact, minimizing stress on adjacent connectors and reducing overall assembly footprint.
