Type F Series RF Connectors

RF Connectors > Type F Series RF Connectors

Description

The Type F is similar to the Type G except it is threaded rather than snap-on. Primary applications are for cable television (CATV), set top boxes, and cable modems. With the deployment of 750 MHz Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks, it became increasingly obvious that existing low performance F receptacles could not be used in high speed cable modems and customer interface units (CIUs). The industry has challenged connector manufacturers to develop high performance connectors featuring -30 dB return loss at 1 Ghz. Additional, these high performance connectors must still accept .022-.042 in. diameter conductors. All connectors comply with a 3/8-32 thread specification. Amphenol has responded to this market demand providing high performance alternatives.

Features & Benefits

• Patent pending contact design provides a truly cylindrical coaxial contact and provides superior RF performance and excellent insertion/withdrawal characteristics.
• 30dB return loss to 1 GHz ensures a high performance specification that outperforms competition.
• Multiple PCB mount packages: surface mount, edge mount, right angle and straight, meets many customer application needs.
• Accommodates .022-.042 inch center conductor sizes. One connector accommodates a wide range of cables sizes reducing part numbers.

Applications

• Cable Assemblies
• CATV
• CIMs
• Head End Equipment
• High Speed Cable Modems
• Hybrid Fiber Coax Networks
• Set Top Boxes
