P224 / Coax / Connector
N-Type is a medium-size threaded RF coaxial connector family used in outdoor, wireless and instrumentation systems.
Also called N connector Type N N-Type RF connector
Threaded RF connectors with similar proportions can still be different interfaces; identify the family before mating.
Look for the relatively large threaded N-Type interface and compare the center-contact and coupling form against documentation.

Inspect view & provenance (private workspace)N-Type and SMA are distinct RF connector families with different interfaces. Adaptation requires a specified connector pair and equipment/cable analysis; bigger threads mean nothing about signal fitness.

The useful distinction
N-Type is a medium-size threaded RF coaxial connector family used in outdoor, wireless and instrumentation systems. [C224A]
Amphenol RF lists 172123 as a straight, 50-ohm in-series adapter with N-Type jack interfaces at both ends. [C224C]
The Panel Mounting Feature entry for Amphenol RF 172123 is explicitly Not Applicable. [C224D]
Amphenol RF 172100 is a straight N-Type plug. Its table reports brass body; white-bronze finish, brass contact; gold finish, cable-crimp construction; crimp contact termination, threaded coupling, 50-ohm impedance, a 11-GHz frequency ceiling and 500 minimum mating cycles. It identifies a PTFE insulator. These are exact-part manufacturer specifications, not family-wide ratings or independent test results. [C224X]
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.
