N M RA CLAMP for 1/2″ Super Flexible Cable

Description

The N-Type connector is the industry standard for high-reliability RF infrastructure, valued for its mechanical robustness and superior power handling. This Right Angle (RA) variant is specialized for the 1/2″ Super Flexible cable class. Unlike standard 1/2″ feeder cables, Superflex variants utilize a deep spiral or specialized 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.

The 90-degree elbow configuration is essential for tight-clearance tower mounts, cabinet routing, and bulkhead connections, allowing for clean cable management in environments where space is at a premium. 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 (Albaloy) plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and low VSWR up to 10.2 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Compact 90° Routing: Significantly reduces the depth required for connections, facilitating high-density cable management on tower tops and within equipment enclosures.

• Superflex Cable Match: Specifically engineered for the deep corrugation profile of 1/2″ 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.

• 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 Male (Plug) Right Angle (90°) with standard 5/8-24 threaded coupling.

• Termination Method: Compression Clamp (Outer Conductor) / Solder or Captive (Center Pin).

• Cable Compatibility: Optimized for 1/2″ Super Flexible Corrugated Cables (FSJ4-50B, SCF12-50J, RSF12-50, etc.).
