Description
This connector is designed to withstand the immense physical stress and high RF power levels of 1-5/8″ main feeder lines. The clamp design utilizes a robust back-nut and internal compression rings to create a 360-degree contact with the cable’s outer conductor. This high-pressure interface is critical for achieving ultra-low PIM (typically ≤ -160 dBc), protecting receiver sensitivity in dense 4G and 5G spectrum environments.
Internally, it features high-grade PTFE (Teflon) insulation and silver-plated center contacts for maximum conductivity and low insertion loss. For long-term outdoor reliability, these connectors incorporate multiple silicone gaskets to reach an IP68 waterproof rating, ensuring the large-diameter cable interior remains dry and free from corrosion in extreme climates.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Massive Tensile Strength: Specifically engineered to support the weight of 1-5/8″ vertical cable runs without mechanical or electrical failure.
-
Ultra-Low PIM Performance: Built with non-magnetic materials and high-pressure contacts to maintain PIM levels at or below -160 dBc, ensuring clean signal transmission.
-
Field-Installable Design: The clamp mechanism allows for secure installation on-site using standard heavy-duty wrenches, avoiding the need for specialized hydraulic tools.
-
Superior Power Handling: Capable of managing the highest continuous and peak power levels associated with major macro-cell transmitters.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: The tri-alloy (White Bronze) plating protects against oxidation, ensuring the electrical interface remains stable for the life of the installation.
