N Series

TNC connectors are based on MIL-C-39012 requirements.
They have the same inner interface design as the BNC.
The only difference is the thread mating which ensures the working frequency is up to 11 GHz for 50 Ohm.
Due to the thread mating design, TNC's can withstand more vibration load than BNC's.
