Speedy secure mating for novel N-types
The QN Quick Lock N connector from Huber+Suhner is a fast and secure quick lock coupling that requires only a very low mating force.
The QN Quick Lock N connector from Huber+Suhner is a fast and secure quick lock coupling that requires only a very low mating force of about 30N and is ten times faster to mate than other N type connectors, as the locking mechanism snaps closed in a single step Pulling back the decoupling sleeve opens the snap ring of the mating mechanism, allowing for quick demating with a force of merely 30N

Optical distribution frame controls fibre bends
LISA is a new optical distribution frame designed specifically to handle systems working at 1625nm in the X band.
The mated retention force is 450N.
The quick mating cycle of the QN connector leads to a much reduced cost of ownership compared with other screw-in N type connectors, yet delivers the same performance.
The new device can be used in a wide variety of applications such as radio basestations, antenna systems and test and measurement - primarily all applications where high power has to be transmitted with low loss.
Rugged, watertight, good intermodulation characteristics (-155dBc; two 43dBm carriers), low return loss (above 32dB up to 3GHz, above 25dB from 3 to 6GHz), 50ohm impedance and RF screening effectiveness are other advantages distinguishing the new QN connector from Huber+Suhner.
These devices also provide higher packaging density and self alignment of angle connectors, and the panel connectors feature a reduced flange size (as the TNC).
Customised solutions for the QN quick-lock connector are also available.
