New RF multi-connector for antenna connections
With the advent of 5G technology, the increase in the number of antenna channels will require high-density solutions for radio connections. The large number of connections will lead to difficult cable management for installations, associated with a high level of intermodulation distortion (PIM) stability.
To simplify the installation of these systems, HUBER+SUHNER has developed a new 4- and 5-port multi-connector with high PIM levels and for outdoor applications (IP68). It uses a standard interface (IEC 63138-2 & -3) and has reduced dimensions (equivalent to the 7/16 connector).
Features
- Multiple connections coupled simultaneously.
- Mechanical coding for correct alignment.
- Waterproof (IP68).
- Space optimization (same footprint as the 7/16 connector).
- ¼” HF cable size for jumpers.
- Standard interface (IEC 63138-2 & -3).
Benefits
- Quick and easy connection of multiple channels.
- Correct contact alignment.
- Easy to connect.
- Increased connection density.
- Reduced installation costs.
Applications
- BTS antennas with multiple ports.
- Antennas / Radios and filter output.
- Applications requiring PIM stability.
- Outdoor and indoor applications.
