Reducing interference with low PIM coaxial adapters

Amphenol RF has introduced Nex10 adapters into its extensive portfolio of low PIM solutions. This lightweight interface provides a compact design 50% smaller than the conventional 4.3-10 series and supplies a transition from 4.3-10, 7-16, N-Type and SMA products. The device provides for more connection density when compared to other connectors or adapters. The small footprint of this series makes it excellent for small cells, DAS and MIMO applications.

The adapters can be employed where RF signals must be combined or distributed to an antenna in multi-operator, multiband DAS applications. These adapters are created to solve PIM in a network to lower interference that can degrade the network quality. This durable interface provides reliable electrical performance up to 6GHz and is constructed using various cost-effective materials, which differ based on the series.

Th interface offers a threaded coupling mechanism for secure mating with all between series adapter configurations using this type of mating on either end. All the adapter options have a straight orientation. The ruggedised design and compact size enable this series to satisfy the reduced size necessities for shrinking technology, including 5G/LTE designs.
