About RF Adapters

RF adapters are used to connect different waveguides and/or coaxial types. They are passive devices that direct radio frequency (RF) signals with minimal return loss. There are three main types of RF adapters: coaxial, waveguide, and coaxial/waveguide. Coaxial RF adapters connect two different types of coaxial cable, or terminate a coaxial port. Waveguide RF adapters connect two different types of waveguides, or terminate a waveguide port. Coaxial / waveguide adapters connect a coaxial cable to a waveguide, or vice-versa.
