Cables are among the most-used components in testing labs. SPINNER has developed exceptionally good low PIM cables for measurement and test.
A coaxial jumper measuring cable assembly SF 3/8"-50-PE 4.3-10 male screw N male 0.4 m low PIM (-165 dBc) is characterized by its extremely good PIM performance. Extra-long anti-kink sleeves make them highly robust and long-lasting, optimized for repeated bending.
Outstanding IM characteristics with maximum passive intermodulation
A SPINNER coaxial jumper measuring cable assembly SF 3/8"-50-PE 4.3-10 male screw N male 0.4 m low PIM (-165 dBc) guarantees outstanding IM characteristics with maximum passive intermodulation (IM3) of -165 dBc and low VSWR values over the entire frequency range and during the entire operating time of the cable. SPINNER coaxial cable assemblies comply with the RoHS 2002/95 Directive. The length of the cable is 0.4 m. The rugged coaxial cable has inner conductors made of copper, a PE dielectric insulation and a copper outer conductor. Inner and outer conductors are soldered 360° inductively.
On one end there is a 4.3-10 male screw connector pre-assembled, on the other end there is a N male connector. Thus, you can use the cable as an adapter for the transition between 4.3-10 and N connector systems.
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 N-coaxial connectors were named after their inventor Paul Neill, who developed this standard for RF connectors in 1942. Often, however, the name also relates to the Navy Connector. Type N connectors can be used at frequencies up to 11 GHz, high-precision types up to 18 GHz. It is typically used in mobile communication applications with demanding mechanical and electrical requirements. SPINNER exclusively manufactures connectors with non-slotted outer conductor contacts and a special sealing profile in the connector head instead of the flat seal disk, specified by IEC or CECC. This ensures the most reliable sealing function.
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.
