SlimLine BNC Series RF Connectors

Slimline BNC Connector

RF Connectors > Slimline BNC Series RF Connectors

Description

Amphenol RF introduces the new generation of quality BNC connectors for the telecommunication and broadband applications for higher connector densities while preserving the positive characteristics of the Amphenol full-size BNC’s for 75 Ω systems. This allows 40% more interconnects in the same area.

The SlimLine BNC series provides a positive locking bayonet system where SMB and SMZ system have no locking feature. The SMB and SMZ were not designed to be field installed or repaired, while the SlimLine BNC is specifically designed to be a drop-in replacement and used with the Telco DS3 application and is compatible with the present field installer tooling and strip dimensions.

Features & Benefits

  • Crimp/Crimp design compatible with Trompeter tooling.
  • Same standard installation tooling using the best-in-class Telco DSC cable terminations assignment
  • Same foot print on the jack side, making the SlimLine BNC a drop-in replacement for most high-density applications using SMB or SMZ jacks
  • 75 Ω allowing room for movement up the frequency chain while matching impedance
  • Bayonet locking coupling mechanism provides key advantage over a threaded alternative with quick connect/disconnect and positive mechanism that can be felt when mate
