PUSH-ON F CONNECTORS
 |
This line of RG-6 push-on F connectors for 6-series coax cable require no crimping or compression tools to terminate. Designed for interior applications, the one-piece connectors offer a simplified termination process; strip the coax and push on the connector. A self-locking design creates a permanent termination that will not pull off or come loose. The nickel-plated brass construction, designed to constrain RF signals, helps assure strong signal strength. The connectors are available in four-packs and in a kit that includes a two-step coax stripper.

MULTI-PIN DEVICES
 |
Developed for coax, fiber, and HV applications, VEAM CIR Series connectors can function as electrical, optical or pneumatic connectors, letting you simplify receptacle design processes and inventory. The coaxial VEAM accepts most popular RG cables. Originally designed for mass transit applications, these CIR connectors are also suitable for use in military, commercial, medical, geophysical, entertainment, nuclear, and aerospace applications. Design parameters are based on MIL-C-5015; however, the device’s proprietary positive lock and quick disconnect coupling surpasses environmental requirements of the military specification.

SINGLE-PORT IDC BALUNS
 |
Ultra miniature Model 430 single-port E1/E2 IDC Krone baluns are designed to cut costs in telecom environments by providing conversion from coaxial cable to copper twisted pairs. According to the company, the baluns’ ultra-miniature size conserves space in the central office by allowing high-density installation with a digital distribution frame (DDF). These RoHS-compliant baluns feature 3-pole Krone-type insulation displacement connectors (IDC). No special tools are required to strip, screw, or solder the copper wire. The baluns provide electrical impedance matching between 75-Ω coaxial and 120-Ω copper conducts, with transparent bi-directional signal conversion at speeds ranging from 2 to 8 Mbits/sec. No AC or DC power is required. Up to 32 baluns can be mounted in the company’s Model 430R panel, which is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch telecom equipment rack.
