SPINNER attenuators offer outstanding electrical and mechanical properties
The modular SPINNER system for attenuators offers you great flexibility in the selection of your components. It allows you to combine power, attenuation and connectors according to your individual requirements. The advantages are obvious: cost savings through standardisation and reliable technical quality.
The 50 W 3 dB attenuator DC-6 GHz 4.3-10 female to 4.3-10 male screw is placed into the signal path and reduces the amplitude of the input signal by 3 dB. This reduces the output power and protects the transmitter of your installation from the effects of excessive power. You can individually combine your attenuator and adapt it to the requirements of your local installation.
When used for in-building installation, a 50 W 3 dB attenuator DC-6 GHz 4.3-10 female to 4.3-10 male screw allows you to ensure continuous power and power radiation of your antennas within your building.
Outstanding RF characteristics, best possible passive intermodulation and VSWR
The attenuator enables you to transmit high-frequency signals reliably and flawlessly with optimum protection of your sensitive equipment in a power range up to 50 W.
The attenuator offers on one side an interface 4.3-10 female and on the other side an interface 4.3-10 male.
SPINNER attenuators can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Only in a few cases a certain orientation is required for a product and therefore explicitely stated in our product data sheets.
The 50 W 3 dB attenuator DC-6 GHz 4.3-10 female to 4.3-10 male screw is cooled passively by convection i.e. the heat dissipation via the cooling fins. Due to the flexible mounting options, optimum air circulation and thus cooling can be achieved.
The protection class is IP 50.
The 4.3-10 connector system was designed to meet the latest requirements in mobile communication in terms of size, robustness, performance, and other parameters. Its small footprint supports the use of smaller components, mitigates risks if equipment is assembled without due care, and delivers outstanding electrical performance.
The screw connection, especially when mounted with a suitable torque wrench, provides the strongest hold and a constantly secure fit of the cable. In addition, the center slots in the contacts provide high contact pressure between the cable and the connector for optimum conductivity and signal strength.
