Application Note: NEX10® Connector Series

2022-10-21
●Introduction
■The ongoing exponential demand for wireless networks means mobile operators are under constant pressure to increase capacity. Faced with the prohibitive costs of building new sites, the preferable solution is to improve existing ones. This invariably entails working within limited physical space. At the same time, with the addition of more antennas and connections, keeping Passive Intermodulation (PIM) as low as possible is a prerequisite. Fit-for-purpose connectors, fully optimized for these challenging environments, now play an increasingly pivotal role in ensuring the high-performance transmission of Radio Frequency (RF) signals between base stations or remote radio heads and antennas.
■There has been significant innovation by the RF connector industry over the past decade. This has resulted in the introduction of several small form factor connector solutions, such as the 4.3-10 and more recently the NEX10®. These have become necessary to support the entire ecosystem of high-performance 4G/LTE – and latterly 5G – wireless connectivity requirements, including macro cell sites, metro cells and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployments.
■They offer a more efficient solution to the long-standing 7-16 DIN connector launched more than half a century ago as today’s and tomorrow’s cellular environments depend on high-bandwidth, high density RF connections to provide capacity and low PIM interference.
●Key Features
■The NEX10® offers excellent PIM stability of -166 dBc, high flexibility of coupling mechanism (quick lock and screw), and a ruggedized compact design. With a flange height of just 12.7mm, it is the smallest coax connector system for small cell mobile communication on the market.
◆Small size, 12.7 mm flange height
◆Screw and push-pull coupling
◆-166 dBc PIM, independent of torque
◆Robust design for outdoor use
◆Operating up to 20 GHz with excellent return loss
◆Cable connectors for up to ½” corrugated cables
◆Blind mate for panel connection as well as test and measurement applications
