[Amps] "N, " "TNC" and "BNC" connectors are rated at 500 Watts and work at 1, 000 Watts as log as the load is good..

[Peter Voelpel]

N connectors by Huber&Suhner for example are rated 5.2KW at 20MHz, 3.5KW at 30MHz,
800W at 1GHz etc.

Amphenol specifies a peak power of 10KW no frequency given, so certainly low
frequency only.

Notice that the Alpha 76a warns to put no more than 100 watts thru it on
stand by.
