Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1: Which PIM ratings does this N-male connector support?
- A: Depending on the cable assembly and specific configuration, this connector series is engineered to support -105dBc, -120dBc, and ultra-low -150dBc PIM ratings, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive IBS projects.
- Q2: What cable types can be terminated with this connector series?
- A: It is highly versatile, with styles available for flexible, conformable, semi-rigid, and corrugated cable types. Both crimp and clamp termination processes are supported to suit different installation requirements.
- Q3: How does the screw-type coupling mechanism improve reliability?
- A: The screw-type mechanism provides a sturdy and secure physical connection. Unlike quick-disconnect types, this threaded interface ensures excellent electrical stability and vibration resistance, which is critical for long-term outdoor and indoor infrastructure.
- Q4: Why is the choice of Tri-Alloy plating important for the connector body?
- A: Tri-Alloy plating (often Albaloy) provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard nickel, while offering better electrical conductivity and significantly lower PIM characteristics for high-frequency applications.
- Q5: What is the maximum frequency range this N-type connector can handle?
- A: While the standard MPRC-1/2-NM model is optimized for DC-3GHz with ≤1.15 VSWR, our high-end N-type connectors can extend up to 18GHz depending on the specific cable type and precision requirements.
