NMD (Network Measurements Division) connectors and adapters are reinforced mechanical interface ports designed to provide strong durability and protect precision coaxial ports on RF test cables and adapters from wear or damage during use. Known for their sturdy and reliable mechanical design, NMD interfaces are widely used in vector network analyzer (VNA) systems and high-precision RF testing environments.


Understanding NMD Connectors and Adapters

The term NMD refers to a family of precision RF interfaces that follow standardized mechanical and electrical dimensions. These standards ensure compatibility across the industry, allowing engineers to correctly match connectors and adapters of the same NMD type.

Main NMD Interface Types:

  • NMD 3.5mm

  • NMD 2.92mm

  • NMD 2.4mm

  • NMD 1.85mm

Each connector type corresponds to specific frequency ranges and precision levels. The 50-ohm NMD interface standard is consistent with international manufacturing requirements for high-precision RF measurement instruments.
