AIR802® model CN4SMAJB is a SMA jack (female) bulkhead connector sized for RG8, AIR802 CA400, Times Microwave's LMR400® and Belden® 9913 coaxial cable. AIR802 manufactures high precision and performance connectors. Connector selection is extremely important to insure proper operation and reliability. Poorly constructed connectors will cause higher VSWR and insertion loss resulting in electrical noise and intermittent issues. AIR802® manufactures very large quantities of connectors for our global customers allowing us to provide an attractive quality to price ratio.

In choosing connectors, it is important to match one to the type of cable being used, the impedance (50 versus 75 ohms), the frequency support, insertion loss, voltage rating, cable size or type and environmental specifications. If you are an amateur considering buying connectors to install, we recommend that you purchase our pre-manufactured antenna cable assemblies which have been professionally assembled and tested. Installation of connectors without experience and proper equipment will lead to improperly terminated connectors.

This connector is a SMA jack (female) bulkhead for RG8, AIR802® CA400, Times Microwave's LMR400® and Belden® 9913 size coaxial cable. Bulkhead style connectors have extended length threading allowing them to be utilized through enclosures. Connectors can be a bit confusing regarding the gender. There are also Reverse Polarity (RP) SMA connectors. SMA jack or female connectors have a receptacle for center conductor. The RP-SMA jack or female connector has a protruding pin in the center.  This causes confusion for many not familiar with various connector types. Male and female are regularly mixed up since they are not always intuitive. We generally prefer the terms plug and jack to male versus female for clarity.
