N F CLAMP for 1/4″ 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 environmental resilience. This variant is specialized for the 1/4″ Super Flexible cable class. Unlike standard corrugated cables, Superflex cables feature a deep spiral or annular corrugation that allows for an extremely tight bend radius. This connector is specifically engineered with a mechanical clamp that matches this refined profile, ensuring a secure, 360-degree electrical bond without compromising the integrity of the sensitive cable dielectric.

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 specialized jumper assemblies. The mechanical compression clamp termination provides an airtight, low-resistance connection that maintains superior Passive Intermodulation (PIM) performance. This design allows for precision, high-strength terminations on-site using standard wrenches, facilitating efficient jumper fabrication and system maintenance. 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 12.4 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Superflex Cable Match: Specifically engineered for the deep corrugation profile of 1/4″ 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 Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) 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

• Interface Type: N-Type Female (Jack) with standard 5/8-24 threaded outer shell.
