The cables themselves are useless unless they end with a penyambung or a more special coaxial penyambung. A coaxial penyambung allows one cable to be connected to another cable or a device. Therefore, there are two different types of penyambungs: those connected to the cable and those connected to the device. The device penyambungmempunyai bebibir empat lubang.
1. Kabel berpusatpenyambung
In a cable, the penyambung is mechanically tightly connected to the end of the cable. Once the penyambungdisambungkan ke kabel, ia menjadi pemasangan kabel. Jurutera RF kemudian menghubungkan setiap bahagian mengikut keperluan mereka sendiri. Apabila hanya beberapa unit kabel yang diperlukan, ia lebih berpatutan dan lebih cepat dipasang dengan sendirinya; tetapi apabila banyak pemasangan kabel diperlukan, lebih baik membeli unit kabel.
2. Penyambung
Matlamat masing-masingpenyambung is the same, with minimum insertion loss. Although the insertion loss of the penyambung is very small compared with the cable, the penyambung does have an insertion loss, and there are many different types of penyambungs. Almost all penyambung families have penyambungs suitable for cables and devices. As a general rule, the penyambungs of one group will not match the penyambungs of another group.The second reason is evolution. As the times change, penyambung 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 penyambung type each time.
3. Penyesuai
Kerana ini berbezapenyambungkeluarga, fenomena menarik telah muncul. Jurutera RF terpaksa menyambungkan kabel dengan satupenyambung to another cable or device with a different penyambung family. This cannot be done. The adapter is that they are in step. Adapters, also called coaxial adapters, are short bilateral penyambungs. On one side is one type of penyambung, and once is another type of penyambung.
