Description
The MCX (Micro Coaxial) Male Right-Angle Crimp connector is a micro-miniature RF interface optimized for BT-3002 cables, which are widely used in the UK and international telecommunications infrastructure for digital signal cross-connects. BT-3002 is a miniature 75 Ohm cable, but it is frequently terminated with 50 Ohm MCX interfaces in broadband and networking hardware where space is at a premium. The 90-degree right-angle body is specifically designed to reduce the mated profile, allowing for dense vertical stacking of cables in digital distribution frames (DDF) and exchange racks.
The connector features a Gold-Plated Brass body and a high-conductivity center contact to ensure a low-resistance path and superior corrosion resistance. Its snap-on coupling mechanism provides a secure, tool-less “click” mate, allowing the connector to rotate 360 degrees after installation to eliminate mechanical strain on the cable. The assembly utilizes a precision crimp-on outer ferrule and a solder or crimp center pin, providing the mechanical pull-strength required for professional telecommunications environments.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Specialized BT-3002 Compatibility: Precision-sized to fit the unique dimensions of BT-3002 cable, ensuring a perfect mechanical bond and superior RF shielding.
-
Low-Profile Right-Angle Design: The 90-degree orientation is ideal for narrow-access panels and high-density switching equipment where traditional straight connectors would protrude too far.
-
Rapid Snap-On Interface: Facilitates quick installation and maintenance in complex network racks without the need for threaded coupling tools.
-
Gold-Plated Precision: Heavy gold plating on all critical contact surfaces ensures consistent signal integrity and a high number of mating cycles (500+) without oxidation.
-
Robust Telecommunications Reliability: Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of digital telephone exchanges, offering low VSWR and stable performance up to 6GHz.

Really worth the price and the product quality is excellent. Packaging was secure and delivery was on time. Much better option for Indian customers instead of importing from outside India. Thank you AetherX!
