Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1: Why is the 4.3-10 connector preferred for 5G cavity splitters?
- A: The 4.3-10 connector is smaller and lighter than the 7/16 DIN, yet it offers excellent PIM performance and better mechanical stability. It is the industry standard for 5G equipment due to its reliable electrical contact even under low torque.
- Q2: Does this splitter cover the entire 5G sub-6GHz spectrum?
- A: Yes. With a range of 698-3800MHz, this model covers the critical n77 and n78 bands, which are the primary frequencies for 5G NR worldwide, as well as all legacy 4G LTE and 3G bands.
- Q3: How does the 300W power rating impact system performance?
- A: A 300W average power rating allows the splitter to handle high-power signals from multiple combined sources or high-power remote radio units (RRUs) without overheating or signal degradation, making it suitable for high-capacity DAS environments.
- Q4: What is the significance of the -160dBc PIM rating across the full 3800MHz range?
- A: Many components only specify PIM at lower frequencies. Our splitter maintains -160dBc PIM across the full 3800MHz band, ensuring that unwanted interference noise does not reduce the data speeds or capacity of your 5G network.
- Q5: Can this splitter be installed in outdoor environments?
- A: Yes. The cavity design is ruggedized for both indoor and outdoor applications. It features an IP65-ready construction that protects against dust and water ingress, though we always recommend proper weatherproofing for connectors in extreme outdoor conditions.
