M Type RF Connector FAQ

QIs impedance matching achieved?

A

The M connector is a standard with mismatched impedance. Therefore, it cannot be used for high-frequency products, up to 200MHz.
Even with a conversion connector with other categories, impedance mismatch will occur when converting with the M connector.

QIn what situations is it mainly used?

A

It is used in products with low frequency bands such as amateur radio.
