New low-PIM plenum-rated cable assemblies for use in wireless infrastructure

Pasternack has launched a new line of low-PIM, plenum-rated SPP-250-LLPL cable assemblies for use in wireless infrastructure. Typical applications include DAS, indoor wireless systems, multi-carrier communication systems and PIM testing. The company’s 36 new low-PIM jumper cables are made with UL910 plenum-rated SPP-250-LLPL cable and feature a maximum PIM level of -155dBc. PIM levels have been fully tested with PIM test results marked on each cable. These cables deliver a maximum operating frequency of 6GHz and a maximum VSWR of 1.25:1 up to 2GHz and 1.35:1 up to 6GHz. They are offered with 4.3-10, 7/16 DIN, N and 4.1-9.5 mini-DIN connector combinations including right-angle connectors. These low-PIM cable assemblies are lightweight, flexible and can operate in a temperature range of -55C to +125C. “This new family of low-PIM cables encompasses 36 connector and length variants. The timing of this product release is perfect because another generation of wireless systems is rolling out and our customers are going to need more low-PIM interconnects,” said Dan Birch, product manager.
