FAQs about Coaxial / RF Jumper Cables
What different names are used to refer to coaxial jumper cables?
Sometimes the short name coax is used, so they are called coax jumper cables. They are also referred to as radio frequency (RF) jumper cables. Sometimes it’s switched to coaxial cable jumpers or RF cable jumpers. The short names are coax jumpers or RF jumpers. Additional designations include coaxial cable assemblies and RF cable assemblies. All of these terms can be used interchangeably.
What different genders are available and names for coaxial connectors?
Female coaxial connectors are often referred to as Jacks. Male coaxial connectors are often referred to as Plugs.
Will two coaxial jumper cables perform the same if the connectors are identical, but the lengths are different?
No, if the lengths of the coaxial jumper cables are not the same, the electrical signal being transmitted will be different. The attenuation of the signal will differ.
What does the designation “RP” mean in front of some connector types?
When you see the designation “RP” in front of a connector type it refers to Reverse Polarity. Reverse Polarity means that the contacts or pins are switched between male and female so that the adapters will not mate with standard coaxial connectors.
