Adapter, N Jack to LC Plug, AD-N8LC3

Product Description

Coaxial Adapter – N Jack (Female) to LC Plug (Male), 50 Ω, DC–1 GHz (VSWR ≤ 1.2)

Part Number: AD-N8LC3

Manufacturer: Jye Bao

The AD-N8LC3 is a straight 50 Ω coaxial adapter that converts an
N Type Jack (female socket) interface to an LC Type Plug (male).
LC coax connectors are commonly used where higher voltage handling and robust RF interconnects are required,
while N Type is a widespread standard on RF equipment, panels and test setups.

Note: Datasheet specifies DC–1 GHz performance with VSWR ≤ 1.2. (Do not use this adapter above the stated range if RF match is critical.)

Common Use Cases

• Test & measurement bridging: Connect LC-based fixtures/cables to instruments, attenuators, couplers or panels that use N Type.
• High-voltage RF interconnects: LC coax connectors are typically selected for high power / high voltage environments (extended dielectric design), making this adapter useful when you need to interface that LC side to standard N hardware.
• Legacy / specialist RF systems: Interface older or niche LC-equipped components to modern N-Type infrastructure without re-terminating cables.
• Lab and integration work: Quick connector series conversion when prototyping or building enclosures/panels.
