FAQS

1. What is the typical insertion loss for this UHF to N-Type adapter?
While exact values vary by manufacturer, insertion loss is minimal—typically under 0.15 dB at frequencies below 300 MHz, which is within the adapter’s optimal range.
 2. Can this adapter be used for high-frequency applications above 300 MHz?
No, UHF connectors (like PL-259) are not precision-grade and are not recommended above ~300 MHz due to increased VSWR and signal degradation.
3. Is this adapter suitable for outdoor RF applications?
Yes, the nickel-plated brass construction offers corrosion resistance. However, for long-term outdoor use, weatherproofing (e.g., shrink wrap or sealant) is recommended.
 4. Does this adapter maintain 50 Ohm impedance throughout the connection?
Yes, both the PL-259 and N-Type connectors are rated for 50 Ohms, ensuring impedance matching across typical RF systems to prevent signal reflection.
 5. Can this be used in high-power RF setups like transmitters?
Yes, it can handle moderate RF power levels typical in ham and CB applications, but always check the power rating and temperature tolerance for continuous high-power use.
