Fairview Microwave expands of low PIM product lines
Offered in the company’s latest low PIM product expansion are 16 cable assemblies, 20 RF adapters and 2 RF loads. The majority of the cable assemblies are built using formable 0.141-inch or 0.250-inch low PIM coax, while assemblies using 0.5-inch flexible and superflexible low PIM coax are also available. These cables can be ordered with in-series or between-series combinations of Type-N, SMA, 7/16 DIN and 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN connectors. The low PIM cables operate up to 3 GHz or 6 GHz depending on the configuration and exhibit excellent PIM performance of -160 dBc and 1.25:1 VSWR.
The company’s lines of low PIM adapters are available in combinations of SMA, TNC, Type-N, 7/16 DIN and 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN coaxial connectors. Many of these RF adapters have PIM performance ranging from -150 dBc to -168 dBc, operating frequencies up to 8 GHz and VSWR of 1.25:1. Also available are two new medium and high power low PIM RF loads. These are available in 50 W and 100 W versions, both up to 2.7 GHz. The low PIM terminations have PIM ratings of -168 dBc.
“Our newly expanded lines of low PIM RF components are ideal for PIM-critical applications such as cellular/PCS, DAS, OEM in-rack RF routing, in-building systems, land mobile radio applications and portable PIM testing”, says Greg Arnold, Technical Sales Manager at Fairview Microwave. “Our customers now have access to one of the largest in-stock selections of low PIM products in the industry.”
