A properly terminated UHF or N connector can handle a kilowatt.

The ratings on the connectors vary by what voltage they can withstand.
Also, N connectors have seals for weather proofing.   UHF have to be
weatherproofed externally, but when done so are perfectly reliable for
periods of 15 years or more in the experience of our club station. The cable
started weathering in the sun before the UHF connectors showed any wear
under the tape and sealing we had done.
