Question

Which of these connector types is commonly used for low frequency or dc signal connections to a transceiver?

Answer Options

  • A) PL-259
  • B) BNC
  • C) RCA Phono
  • D) Type N

Correct Answer: C


Explanation

Transceivers typically use various connector types for different functions. While PL-259, BNC, and Type N connectors are all designed for Radio Frequency (RF) signals, the RCA Phono connector (often just called an RCA connector) is commonly employed for low-frequency signals.

RCA connectors are used for connections that involve audio input/output, DC keying lines for CW, and low-speed digital or accessory control signals. They are simple, non-locking, and not rated for RF applications, making them a low-cost, common solution for non-RF signals.
