SV Microwave, Inc. SF5011-60009

Named after Paul Neill of Bell Labs after being developed in the 1940's, the Type N offered the first true microwave performance. The Type N connector was developed to satisfy the need for a durable, weatherproof, medium-size RF connector with consistent performance through 11 GHz. There are two families of Type N connectors: Standard N (coaxial cable) and Corrugated N (helical and annular cable). Their primary applications are the termination of medium to miniature size coaxial cable, including RG-8, RG-58, RG-141 and RG-225. RF coaxial connectors are the most important element in the cable system. Corrugated copper coaxial cables have the potential to deliver all the performance your system requires, but they are often limited by the performance of the connectors. Intermodulation distortion, a major concern in today's communications systems, is consistently low with corrugated cable connectors. Typical performance is -125 dBm (-168 dBdc). In-house IMD measurement capability gives SV Microwave the unique ability to understand the effects of connector design elements on IMD generation and to design the best performing connectors in the industry. Self-flaring designs are easily attached with standard hand tools in the field, and are highly resistant to pull off and twist off. All corrugated cable connectors are optimally matched to their cables for low VSWR and insertion loss.
