Small coax connector system for small cell comms designs
As the telecommunications industry moves towards the small cell approach, the radio and antenna become smaller and demand a small sized, high performing coaxial RF connector. The highlights of the new connector system are its excellent PIM stability of -166 dBc, flexibility of coupling mechanism (quick lock and screw), and ruggedized design in a compact size with flange height of 12.7 mm, to suit the small cell radio and antenna size requirements.
By joining their expertise – say the three RF connector manufacturers in – they have developed a small coaxial connector system which will meet most of the existing and future demands of small cell networks for 4G and upcoming 5G networks.
The interface was first announced at electronica [trade fair, Munich] in November 2016 and it is now NEX10 is officially released for mass production and is already being designed in.
