Rf Industries RFN-1026-1X N female connector to clamp on RG-8/X BELDEN 9258

The RF Industries RFN-1026-1X is an N female connector engineered for field and bench termination of RG-8/X and Belden 9258 coaxial cables using a secure clamp assembly method. The connector body is finished in nickel plating for corrosion resistance, while the center contact carries a gold plating that ensures low-contact-resistance signal transfer and long-term reliability at the mating interface. PTFE dielectric insulation provides excellent electrical stability and thermal resilience across a broad range of operating environments. The N female interface is one of the most widely used RF connector standards in professional communications, broadcast, and infrastructure installations, making this connector a dependable choice for system integrators and technicians working with medium-diameter coaxial cable assemblies.

Key features & benefits

• N Female Interface — The standard N female connector format offers a robust, weatherable threaded coupling mechanism well suited to permanent and semi-permanent coaxial cable terminations in demanding installation environments.
• Clamp Assembly Method — The clamp-style termination provides a mechanically secure and repeatable cable attachment, reducing the risk of pull-out or intermittent contact under vibration or cable movement.
• Nickel-Plated Body — Nickel plating on the connector body delivers solid resistance to oxidation and general corrosion, helping maintain mechanical and electrical integrity over the service life of the installation.
• Gold-Plated Center Contact — Gold plating on the center contact minimizes contact resistance and resists oxidation, supporting consistent signal integrity at the mating interface across repeated connect-disconnect cycles.
• PTFE Dielectric Insulation — Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric material offers excellent electrical insulation properties, low loss characteristics, and high thermal stability, making it appropriate for professional-grade RF assemblies.
• Cable Compatibility — Designed specifically for use with RG-8/X and Belden 9258 coaxial cables, eliminating guesswork during cable assembly and ensuring proper dimensional fit for a reliable finished termination.
