Wow! I sure got that wrong! The picture definitely shows a female TNC with the normal pin configuration. Guess I need to drink stronger iced tea.

The center pins are reversed from the normal condition. Very commonly done on WiFi gear in the US due to some FCC paranoia about people hooking up amplifiers, which the aftermarket world immediately addressed. Ain't capitalism grand?!

I zoomed in on the image that shows the connector without the cover, and it sure looks like a female connector to me (contradicting what the SparkFun description says). I could not determine which handedness applies to the threads, however- not quite enough resolution in the photo. I'm inclined to suspect that this is in fact a standard TNC female connector. What possible motive could an industry have for using a non-standard connector type except for meeting some silly FCC regulation (which clearly does not apply here).
