N M CLAMP for RG217 Cable

Description

The N-Type connector is the premier choice for infrastructure-grade RF applications, valued for its mechanical robustness and superior power handling. This variant is specialized for the 13.8mm (0.545″) cable class, specifically optimized for RG217. Given the large diameter and double-shielded construction of RG217, this connector is designed to provide maximum shielding effectiveness and low attenuation for high-power signal delivery over long distances.

Unlike standard crimp connectors, this variant utilizes a heavy-duty mechanical clamp termination system. This design employs a robust compression sleeve and a rear fastening nut to secure the thick double-braid of the RG217 cable, providing a high-strength, field-serviceable connection that can be assembled with standard wrenches. Manufactured with a reinforced nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable operation up to 11 GHz. The integrated gaskets ensure an IP-rated moisture barrier, making it suitable for the most demanding outdoor and marine environments.

Key Technical Advantages

• High Power Capacity: Specifically designed to handle the increased power levels and voltage ratings associated with large-diameter RG217 coaxial lines.

• Double-Shielding Precision: The clamp mechanism is engineered to provide 360-degree contact with the double-braid outer conductor, ensuring maximum EMI/RFI shielding and signal integrity.

• Field-Installable Design: The mechanical clamp system allows for high-integrity terminations on-site without the need for specialized, large-format crimping tools.

• Extreme Pull-Off Strength: The heavy-duty compression sleeve provides superior mechanical retention, ensuring the connector remains secure under the weight and tension of heavy-gauge cabling.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 5/8-24 threaded coupling provides a locked, stable connection that maintains signal continuity in high-vibration industrial or mobile environments.

Key Features

• Interface Type: N-Type Male (Plug) with standard 5/8-24 threaded coupling.

• Termination Method: Clamp (Outer Braid) / Solder (Center Pin).

• Cable Compatibility: Optimized for RG217 and equivalent 0.545″ double-shielded coaxial cables.

• Premium Construction: Features a nickel-plated brass body and high-performance PTFE dielectric.

• Common Application: High-power transmitter links, primary antenna feeders, maritime communication, and industrial RF heating systems.
