F M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The F-type connector is the universal standard for video distribution and broadband signaling. This male (plug) variant is specialized for micro-diameter cables, including the low-loss LMR100, flexible RG174, and high-temperature RG316. While F-connectors are traditionally associated with larger cables like RG6 or RG11, this version allows engineers and installers to interface subminiature 50-Ohm cables with standard 75-Ohm infrastructure for specialized monitoring, localized signal distribution, or lab-to-field testing.

This connector utilizes a professional dual-crimp termination system. Because micro-cables have a very thin center conductor, this connector typically includes a dedicated gold-plated center pin to ensure a secure fit within standard F-female ports, rather than relying on the cable core itself. The outer ferrule provides a 360-degree mechanical grip on the cable braid, offering high pull-off resistance and protecting signal integrity from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Manufactured with a nickel-plated brass body, it ensures high durability and a secure threaded connection for long-term use.

Key Technical Advantages

• Micro-Cable Precision Calibration: Specifically engineered to fit the dimensions of LMR100, RG174, and RG316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring a high-strength mechanical bond and optimized electrical transition.

• Integrated Center Pin: Features a precision-machined internal pin to ensure reliable mating with standard F-female jacks, compensating for the thin gauge of micro-coaxial cables.

• Versatile Interface Capability: Enables the use of flexible, small-form-factor cables in environments dominated by standard F-type threaded equipment, such as splitters and amplifiers.

• Industrial Dual-Crimp Design: Provides a permanent, vibration-proof termination that exceeds standard pull-out requirements, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The nickel-plated brass body and high-grade dielectric provide excellent environmental protection and long-term signal stability.
