RF Industries has announced a complete line of 4.1-9.5 DIN to N and 7-16 DIN adapters, providing the most popular versions in kit form for organisation. 4.1-9.5 DIN connectors, commonly referred to as Mini DINs, are used in infrastructure and DAS installations for their compact size and low PIM performance, but are difficult to interface with the more widely used N and 7-16 DIN connectors.

To manage the interference in LTE networks caused by Passive InterModulation (PIM) in DAS, RF Industries has introduced low PIM flexible cable assemblies, terminated with QMA male straight or right angle connectors. These Times Microwave TFT-402-LF plenum rated assemblies feature PIM performance of less than 140dBc, using 2t at 20W. Premium QMA straight assemblies, which feature a PIM performance of less than 155dBc, are also available. ...

Standard semi-rigid .141 cable assemblies offer excellent electrical and low PIM performance, however special equipment is required for installations with cable bends, requiring advance planning and longer lead times. Addressing this issue, RF Industries' conformable semi-rigid cable assemblies are manufactured with a tin filled, braided outer conductor that exhibits similar electrical properties to solid semi-rigid, but can be hand formed i...

  By reducing lead times for delivery by over 10 weeks in response to a complicated and exacting RFQ, RF Industries has provided a major locomotive manufacturer with a custom wire harness for power and data.

Rated for low PIM performance of less than-155dBc, using 2 tonnes at 20W, the RQA-5478 adapter has been released by RF Industries. Allowing the connection of a QMA male terminated cable assemble to equipment with an N female connector, the adapter features a QMA female to N male interface. The adapter, which is manufactured with a machined brass body and plated in a durable tri-metal (white-bronze) finish, features a gold plated contact.

The RFD-4195-1953, a 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN female-to-female barrel adapter, has been released by RF Industries. Manufactured with machine brass body and plated in a durable tri-metal (white-bronze) finish, the adapter features a PIM rating of less than or equal to -160dBc using 2 tones at 20W.

A custom SMB jack coaxial connector for a defence contractor has been designed by Aviel Electronics, a division of RF Industries. Designed to be attached to a piece of test equipment, the panel mounted SMB jack features a threaded passivated stainless steel type 303 body and hex nuts. 

  RF Industries were approached by a manufacturer of industrial lasers used for etching integrated circuit wafers. The company required a series of cables and harnesses to connect the various functions of the machine and a single entry point for the cables to pass through a bulkhead.

7/16 DIN connector interface has been the choice for wireless infrastructure applications for its high power and low intermodulation characteristics. RF Industries expands their line of 7/16 DIN connectors and adapters with a female to female bulkhead adapter, part number P2RFD-1654-4.

The 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN connector interface is essentially a compact version of the 7/16 DIN with applications on DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) and wireless infrastructure. RF Industries manufactures 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN male connectors and terminates them onto Times Microwave plenum rated low PIM cables SPP-250-LLPL and TFT-402-LF.

In addition to 8 variations of 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN to N type and 7/16 DIN adapters, RF Industries have introduced a 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN male to female right angle and straight adapters. The 4.1/9.5 (Mini) DIN is essentially a compact version of the 7-16 DIN with similar electrical performance. Applications include wireless infrastructure sites, indoor/outdoor DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) requiring low PIM (Passive Intermodulation) performance.

A fiber optic trunk cable, which are increasingly being used to replace copper in wireless infastructure, is now available from RF Industries. Utilising Corning FREEDM One fiber trunk cable, the cables are offered with 6 strand single mode or multi-mode, 12, 24, or 36 strand single mode configurations, and can be used for indoor, outdoor, or direct burial applications. The cables are also flame-retardant and UV-resistant.

Wireless infrastructure installations require DC power for “up the tower” and “in the building” applications. RF Industries provides outdoor and indoor multi-conductor composite power cables in standard and custom configurations. Outdoor DC Power cables run power up the tower to support Fibre-to-the-Antenna applications.

Two new N male connectors simplify the installation process by eliminating the need to trim the braid during cable preparation. Correct installation of RF connectors onto coax cable is critical in wireless system performance. The RFN-1006-49I features a solderless captive pin and the RFN-1006-4I features a crimp pin. Both connectors are compatible for high performance cables such as Times Microwave LMR-400, CommScope CNT-400, Belden 9913, and RF ...

7-16 DIN CONNECTORS are large format 50 ohm interfaces designed for high power wireless telecommunications applications such as antennas, base stations, and satellite communications. Test ports are subject to minimal wear each time the connector interface is coupled and de-coupled. Contact pins and dielectrics can be damaged if connectors are misaligned during coupling.

7-16 DIN adapters are highly desired in test applications such as base station passive intermodulation (PIM) testing. These low loss, low VSWR adapters are designed to be used with portable antenna and cable analyzers.

RF Connectors, a division of RF Industries, supplies many adapter and tool kits. One popular kit, introduced more than 10 years ago, is now available in white bronze plating as well as silver. Our 7-16 DIN adapter kit has proven to be invaluable to end users. Technicians in the cellular, PCS, GPS and digital communications fields are finding more requirements for 7-16 DIN adapters. The 7-16 DIN connector interface offers technical advantages ov...

Test grade cables are a must for RF applications. The test cables serve as the extension of the equipments’ test ports. They provide flexibility for measuring cable assemblies or other microwave devices. It is vital to system performance that they remain stable when subjected to environmental or mechanical stresses.

RF INDUSTRIES announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately owned Long Island, NYbased Cables Unlimited, Inc., (CUI) for cash and equity consideration of approximately $5,600,000. CUI had revenue of approximately $6,200,000 and non-audited non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of approximately $645,000 in its most recent twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

Sometimes the most effective and economical design for a piece of equipment requires a custom adapter to function. Aviel Electronics recently designed such an SMB jack adapter. The CO-SMB-JKMA-3P01 is a panel-mount with a modified interface to allow external sealing and a .060 axial shift when mated with a standard off-the-shelf SMB plug. This special adapter allows RF electrical connection to a non-standard unit, thereby permitting the use of st...
