The '''N connector''' (also, '''type-N connector''') is a threaded, weatherproof, medium-size [[RF connector]] used to join [[coaxial cable]]s.  It was one of the first connectors capable of carrying [[microwave]]-frequency signals, and was invented in the 1940s by [[Paul Neill]] of [[Bell Labs]], after whom the connector is named.<ref name=":0" />
