Universal weather protection boot for RF connector systems
The UWP boot – which protects against inclement weather, contamination and corrosion – complements the company’s wide range of established products for macro cells and small cell/DAS networks.
The most common application for the UWP boot involves jumpers installed between antennas and remote radio heads which go through extreme outdoor weather conditions. As compared to tape or boot solutions often requiring tools, the UWP offers an easy-to-use, reliable and multi-cable compatibility in terms of jumper suppliers and cable sizes.
According to Fritz Landolt, Business Unit Manager FCO at HUBER+SUHNER, to satisfy the next generation of bandwidth hungry data users, systems that combine ease of installation, robustness and efficiency, while reducing costs are required.
The company also demonstarted the Quick-Fit plus assembling process and the MASTERLINE Ultimate SC – a fiber optic cable system that is a compact and easy to deploy plug and play solution for the next generation of remote radio heads.
The Quick-Fit Plus was created to simplify the assembling process to fit different interfaces. The product is mountable in the field and is easy to assemble thanks to its one-piece design. In combination with an all-in-one stripping tool for ½” plenum cables, the Quick-Fit Plus can be deployed very quickly. Furthermore, it offers a greatly simplified and economic approach to cable preparation and assembly and meets the requirements of multi-carrier, high channel-count transceivers such as base stations of today’s mobile communication infrastructure networks.
