Punch down and earth strap for connector
The RJ-LnxxT IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ-45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.
Convertors marry disparate optical standards
A new range of connector convertors on show at ECOC 2002 next week are claimed offer unparalleled levels of performance and reliability.
Comparator construction is dependant on the antenna/horn arrangement feeding into the comparator.
In the case of a horn arrangement a comparator can be fabricated from Micro Metalsmiths precision cast tees.
For more compact requirements where space is limited or where performance requirements dictate a flat plate slotted array, a slim line 'flat-plate' comparator is preferred.
Micro Metalsmiths machine these from solid and dip braze.
In addition to the design of the comparator, Micro Metalsmiths can manufacture the antenna.
Through early discussion with Micro Metalsmiths Engineers designs can be optimised for the chosen manufacturing route.
Micro Metalsmiths range of single waveguide loop couplers are available in waveguide sizes 8 (WR430) to 22 (WR28) with coupling values ranging from 30 to 70dB.
Couplers are fitted with SMA-F, TNC, K Type or N Type connectors.
Micro Metalsmiths has a range of WR650 (WG6) components suitable for use in waveguide feeds for free electron lasers and accelerating structures.
Catalogue components include E plane and H plane waveguide bends and magic tees.
Components such as absorptive harmonic rejection filters, waveguide couplers and loads can be designed and manufactured by Micro Metalsmiths to meet the customer's specifications.
