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 прирабница со четири дупки.
1. Кабел централизиранконектор
In a cable, the конектор is mechanically tightly connected to the end of the cable. Once the конекторе поврзан со кабел, станува склоп на кабел. RF инженерите потоа го поврзуваат секој дел според нивните сопствени потреби. Кога се потребни само неколку склопови за кабли, тие се попристапни и побрзи за монтажа сами; но кога се потребни многу склопови за кабли, подобро е да се купат склопови за кабли.
2. Конектор
Целта на секојконектор 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
Поради овие различниконекторсемејства, се појави интересен феномен. Инженерите на РФ се принудени да поврзат кабел со еденконектор 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.
