The cables themselves are useless unless they end with a конектор or a more special coaxial конектор. A coaxial конектор allows one cable to be connected to another cable or a device. Therefore, there are two different types of конекторs: those connected to the cable and those connected to the device. The device конекторима прирубницу са четири рупе.
1. Кабл централизованконектор
In a cable, the конектор is mechanically tightly connected to the end of the cable. Once the конекторје повезан са каблом, постаје кабловски склоп. РФ инжењери затим повезују сваки део према сопственим потребама. Када је потребно само неколико кабловских склопова, они су приступачнији и бржи за састављање сами; али када је потребно много кабловских склопова, боље је купити кабловске склопове.
2. Конектор
Циљ свакогконектор is the same, with minimum insertion loss. Although the insertion loss of the конектор is very small compared with the cable, the конектор does have an insertion loss, and there are many different types of конекторs. Almost all конектор families have конекторs suitable for cables and devices. As a general rule, the конекторs of one group will not match the конекторs of another group.The second reason is evolution. As the times change, конектор manufacturers often improve the connection according to actual needs, or reduce the insertion loss, or facilitate the use of the connection. Significant changes are made to an existing конектор type each time.
3. Адаптер
Због ових различитихконекторпородице, појавио се занимљив феномен. РФ инжењери су приморани да повежу кабл са једнимконектор to another cable or device with a different конектор family. This cannot be done. The adapter is that they are in step. Adapters, also called coaxial adapters, are short bilateral конекторs. On one side is one type of конектор, and once is another type of конектор.
