7/8" EIA Connector for 7/8" Coaxial Cable, RAPID FIT™ Sealing compound

Rev : E | Rev date : 13 May 2016
Radio Frequency Systems’ line of high performance coaxial cable connectors are designed specifically to provide the highest quality connector-cable interface while simplifying and speeding up the attachment of connectors to CELLFLEX® coaxial cables. RFS connectors are fully tested for mechanical and electrical compliance specifications. They are available in all popular cable sizes in a variety of mating interfaces. To join two cables with EIA connectors, two identical socket connectors are installed on either end of the cables to be joined, and a coupling element is used to make the connection of the center conductor. The coupling element must be ordered separately with the exception of the S-Line male versions that have a captivated coupling element. Connectors are available in sizes matching the nominal cable size. EIA connectors provide optimal power handling for the complete transmission line system.

FEATURES / BENEFITS
