Amphenol RF has launched a 2.2/5 connector series, which it claims to be ideal for wireless infrastructure in indoor and outdoor applications.

With an interface that is a more compact version of the previously released 4.3/10 connector series, its footprint is 53 per cent smaller.

Described as lightweight with the ability to “accommodate thick, low loss cables up to a half inch”, coupled with a robust design, Amphenol says the 2.2/5 connector series is tailored to the needs of applications which require low PIM in order to avoid interference in network quality during high-speed data transmission.

“These connectors offer flexibility in installation with the ability to blind mate and are IP-68 rated in the mated condition” Amphenol says. “This allows for prolonged exposure to the elements without compromising the performance.”

The 2.2/5 are “ideal” for wireless applications such as small cells, mobile networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), low power base stations and in-building architecture and 5G communication technology. www.amphenolrf.com
