Rugged Construction and Wireless Infrastructure Applications
EZ-400-716M-X is engineered for high-power handling and ultra-low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) performance on LMR-400 coaxial cable. It utilizes the industry-leading EZ-style termination to ensure a fast, consistent, and error-free connection, critical for macro-cell tower and high-gain antenna installations.
- Solderless EZ-Style Design: Features a revolutionary spring-finger inner contact that eliminates the need for soldering, providing consistent, low-resistance connections in under 30 seconds.
- Robust 7/16 DIN Interface: The standard for high-power transmission in outdoor RF applications, providing a secure, threaded coupling capable of handling significant power levels.
- Ultra-Low PIM: Excellent PIM stability is guaranteed, crucial for maintaining signal quality and maximizing data rates in demanding LTE and 5G wide-area networks.
- No Braid-Trim Feature: Simplifies cable preparation, guaranteeing a consistent shield termination every time and eliminating Foreign Object Debris (FOD).
- Weatherproof Design: Offers superior sealing capabilities when properly mated, providing an essential layer of protection for outdoor tower installations.
