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 N male N male right angle 1.2 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 N male N male right angle 1.2 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 1.2 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 N male connector pre-assembled, on the other end there is a N male right angle connector. Right-angled plugs also allow for installation in tight spaces or special cable feeds. If two right-angled connections are selected, the angle of rotation of the connectors can be determined to each other - 0, 90 or 180 degrees.
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.
