N F CLAMP for 1/2″ Super Flexible Cable

Description

The N-Type female connector is a fundamental component for high-reliability RF infrastructure, valued for its mechanical robustness and superior power handling. This variant is specialized for the 1/2″ Super Flexible cable class. Unlike standard 1/2″ feeder cables, Superflex cables utilize a deep spiral or annular corrugation that allows for significantly increased flexibility. This connector is specifically engineered with a mechanical clamp that interlocks with this refined corrugation profile, ensuring a secure, 360-degree electrical bond without damaging the sensitive cable structure.

As a female interface (jack), it is commonly used to provide a rugged threaded mounting point on enclosures or to act as the receptacle side of high-efficiency jumper assemblies. The mechanical compression clamp termination provides an airtight, low-resistance connection that maintains superior Passive Intermodulation (PIM) stability. This design allows for precision, high-strength terminations on-site using standard wrenches, facilitating efficient jumper fabrication and system maintenance in dense RF environments. Manufactured with a reinforced tri-metal plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and low VSWR up to 10 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Superflex Cable Match: Specifically engineered for the spiral corrugation profile of 1/2″ Super Flexible cables, ensuring maximum surface contact and extreme pull-off strength.

• Low-PIM Performance: The precision-machined clamp interface minimizes non-linearities, a critical requirement for modern 5G, LTE, and multi-carrier wireless networks to prevent signal interference.

• Field-Installable Design: The mechanical compression system allows for high-integrity assembly on-site without specialized crimping tools, ideal for custom-length jumper fabrication and rapid field repairs.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 5/8-24 threaded outer shell ensures a secure, locked mating with male connectors that resists loosening in high-vibration or exposed outdoor environments.

• Rugged Environmental Sealing: Features multiple integrated O-ring gaskets to provide an IP68-rated moisture barrier, protecting the cable interface from oxidation and environmental degradation.

Key Features
