EZ-400-NMC-2-D N male (plug) straight EZ connector for LMR-400, TCOM-400, and T-RAD-400-FR
EZ-400-NMC-2-D Connector is a high-performance N-Male (plug) connector specifically engineered for the fast, reliable termination of the high-performance LMR-400 coaxial cable. As a premium component of the revolutionary EZ-Fit series, this connector provides the ruggedness and superior electrical characteristics of the N-Type interface combined with a unique, solderless clamp mechanism. It’s the ideal choice for creating durable, extremely low-loss cable assemblies for systems operating up to 6 GHz.
Key Features & Advantages
- LMR-400 Optimized: Precisely engineered for LMR-400 coaxial cable, ensuring a robust mechanical connection and realizing the cable’s low-loss potential, which is crucial for long cable runs.
- EZ-Fit Solderless Clamp Technology: Features a cutting-edge spring-finger inner contact that securely connects to the center conductor without soldering. The “C” in the part number denotes a Clamp outer assembly for maximum mechanical grip.
- High-Frequency N-Type: The robust, medium-sized, threaded coupling mechanism is renowned for its durability and excellent electrical characteristics, supporting applications up to 6 GHz.
- Fast Field Assembly: The solderless and simplified prep design significantly reduces installation time, minimizes field errors, and requires no heating elements.
- Superior Plating: Built with durable materials and plated for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

Typical Applications
The EZ-400-NMC-2-D is essential for high-power, high-frequency, and long-distance applications:
- Fixed Wireless & Telecommunications: Connecting long runs between base stations, antennas, and repeaters.
- Coaxial Jumper Assemblies: Creating high-quality, ultra-low-loss N-Male jumpers for critical infrastructure.
- Test & Measurement: Used in lab and field environments where high reliability and low attenuation are paramount.
- Outdoor Installations: Ideal for applications requiring the ruggedness of LMR-400 coaxial cable and the weatherproof reliability of the N-Type connector.
Installation & Recommended Tooling
The unique EZ-Fit clamp design simplifies installation, but requires precise preparation:
- Cable Prep Tool: The dedicated LMR-400 strip tool (e.g., CST-400 or 3192-154) is essential for achieving the exact strip dimensions required by the non-solder contact.
- Crimping Tool: Not required for the outer conductor thanks to the clamp design, simplifying the tool kit.
- Wrench: A wrench may be required to fully tighten the clamp nut, ensuring maximum pull-out strength and strain relief.
