The N connector is widely used up to 0.8-1 Kw.
Above 800W and up to a couple of Kw the preferred connectors are 7-16 
(mostly devoted for TV applications and in Europe) and 7/8" EIA flange. 
Larger size EIA flanges are used for bigger power (typ. 3 1/8" for 50 
KW).
The LC type, a sort of PL259 descendant, is also considered obsolete.
