MCX M RA CRIMP for BT-3002 Cable

Description

The MCX (Micro Coaxial) Male Right-Angle Crimp connector is a micro-miniature RF interface optimized for BT-3002 cables, which are widely used in the UK and international telecommunications infrastructure for digital signal cross-connects. BT-3002 is a miniature 75 Ohm cable, but it is frequently terminated with 50 Ohm MCX interfaces in broadband and networking hardware where space is at a premium. The 90-degree right-angle body is specifically designed to reduce the mated profile, allowing for dense vertical stacking of cables in digital distribution frames (DDF) and exchange racks.

The connector features a Gold-Plated Brass body and a high-conductivity center contact to ensure a low-resistance path and superior corrosion resistance. Its snap-on coupling mechanism provides a secure, tool-less “click” mate, allowing the connector to rotate 360 degrees after installation to eliminate mechanical strain on the cable. The assembly utilizes a precision crimp-on outer ferrule and a solder or crimp center pin, providing the mechanical pull-strength required for professional telecommunications environments.

Key Technical Advantages

• Specialized BT-3002 Compatibility: Precision-sized to fit the unique dimensions of BT-3002 cable, ensuring a perfect mechanical bond and superior RF shielding.

• Low-Profile Right-Angle Design: The 90-degree orientation is ideal for narrow-access panels and high-density switching equipment where traditional straight connectors would protrude too far.

• Rapid Snap-On Interface: Facilitates quick installation and maintenance in complex network racks without the need for threaded coupling tools.

• Gold-Plated Precision: Heavy gold plating on all critical contact surfaces ensures consistent signal integrity and a high number of mating cycles (500+) without oxidation.

• Robust Telecommunications Reliability: Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of digital telephone exchanges, offering low VSWR and stable performance up to 6GHz.
