It is often necessary when connecting diverse systems and components to use a 90 degree coax adapter to mate between connections with differing coaxial connector standards. Like with all RF coaxial applications, RF coaxial adapters including a 90 degree coax adapter can be instrumental from the field and production to the laboratory.
These versatile adapters can be used with coax cable assemblies with similar of different connector ends that have already been purchased. The avoids have to buy new cable assemblies. Right angle coax adapters feature in-series connectors (the same connectors ) or between series (different connectors) versions to address every application imaginable.

These coax adapters are essential in clustered interconnect environments where a typical coaxial connector and cable attachment won’t allow for sufficient clearance for insertion or extraction. Moreover, using a right-angle adapter can eliminate the need for a straight adapter on either the port or cable assembly side of the adapter, which may further reduce the overall interconnect footprint.
As with typical coaxial adapters, there are as many right-angle coaxial adapter types as there are coaxial connector standard combinations. However, there are also additional types of right-angle adapters to accommodate different performance requirements. Traditional RA adapters are designed to provide the minimal footprint to perform a right-angle transition. This is often at the sacrifice of performance and possibly even maximum frequency of operation. There is a solution to this however, but it involves bending a rigid cable around an acceptable radius for the maximum frequency of operation. These radius right angle, or swept radius right angle, 90 degree coax adapter variations tend to be better performing than their hard right-angle counterparts, but also tend to be more expensive and larger than typical right angle adapters. Other 90 degree coax adapter types include reverse polarity (RP) types, but these are often limited to SMA and TNC connector standards, as those are the most common found with RP configurations.
