7/16 DIN F CLAMP for 1/4 Feeder Cable

Description

 This connector is built for the unique demands of modern telecommunications infrastructure. The clamp design creates a 360-degree contact with the cable’s outer conductor, ensuring exceptional electrical stability and resistance to vibration. It utilizes PTFE (Teflon) insulation and silver-plated phosphor bronze contacts to minimize signal loss. Integrated silicone gaskets provide an IP68 waterproof rating, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use in harsh climates.

The 7/16 DIN interface is chosen even for smaller 1/4″ cables when the application requires high installation torque and high power handling capacity. This is common in 5G NR small cells and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) where multiple carriers are present and intermodulation interference must be strictly controlled.

Key Technical Advantages

• Optimized for 1/4″ Feeder: Specifically tailored to the geometry of small-diameter corrugated cables, providing high tensile strength and a secure mechanical fit.

• Low PIM Performance: Engineered with non-magnetic materials to achieve ultra-low PIM (typically ≤ -155 dBc), protecting the sensitivity of receiver modules.

• Field-Installable Clamp: Provides a reliable, airtight connection using standard wrenches, eliminating the need for specialized hydraulic crimpers or soldering equipment.

• Weatherproof Integrity: Rated for IP68 protection, ensuring the connection remains moisture-free in extreme rain, snow, and humidity.

• Superior Reflection Control: Maintains a very low VSWR, protecting equipment from reflected energy and ensuring efficient signal transmission.

Key Features

• Cable Compatibility: 1/4″ Corrugated Coaxial Cable (LDF1-50, FSJ1-50, SCF14-50).

• Impedance: 50 Ohm.

• Frequency Range: DC to 3 GHz (Typical); up to 6 GHz in high-spec versions.

• Connector Type: 7/16 DIN Female (Jack/Socket).

• Body Plating: Tri-Alloy (White Bronze).

• Ingress Protection: IP68 (Mated).
