7-16 female to 4.3-10 male hand screw adapter

432015

SPINNER adapters offer outstanding electrical and mechanical properties

Adapters are used to connect transmission lines with different interface sizes (so-called inter-type or between-lines adapter) or within one size but different interface genders (so-called within-type or in-line adapter).

SPINNER high frequency adapters are optimized for quality and performance and are designed for the lowest possible reflection factors. The outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, the simple installation and the high reliability make SPINNER high-frequency adapters one of the most efficient and cost-effective transition connectors on the market. Precision adaptors with RF quality grade 0 are available upon request.

The SPINNER 7-16 female to 4.3-10 male hand screw adapter guarantees excellent, lossless mobile communication quality for use in in-building distributed antenna systems (DAS) or on mobile communication base stations outdoors.

Outstanding RF characteristics, best possible passive intermodulation and VSWR

A 7-16 female to 4.3-10 male hand screw adapter enables you to reliably transmit radio-frequency signals in the frequency range from DC to 6 GHz.This SPINNER adapter guarantees outstanding IM characteristics with maximum passive intermodulation (IM3) of -165 dBc and low VSWR.

The adaptor offers a transition from interface 7-16 female to interface 4.3-10 male. The connector has a straight direction.

The 7-16 connector has become the most widely used coaxial connection system for mobile communication systems, due to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. In order to achieve the industry leading intermodulation performance SPINNER applies silver-plating on all inner and outer conductor parts of the standard connector. As a supporting measure, we use exclusively non-magnetic materials, and we have minimized the number of RF contact points. The connection is especially suited for transmitting medium or high power indoors and outdoors.

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 hand-screw connection offers a quick installation and nevertheless enough firm grip. It also does not weaken or loosen over time, which guarantees a constant 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.
