A RF connector supports wireless equipment, helping engineers save space, improve signal transmission, and build communication systems with higher port density.
Amphenol RF has introduced a NEX10 4-hole flange jack connector designed for use with 1.37 mm micro-coax cable, targeting compact RF systems and high-density wireless infrastructure. The connector is built to provide low passive intermodulation (PIM) performance, reliable signal transmission, and secure mechanical stability in applications where space is limited.
The product is aimed at RF engineers, telecom equipment manufacturers, wireless infrastructure providers, and system integrators developing next-generation communication systems. It can be used to build compact RF assemblies, support high-frequency signal transmission, improve cable routing, and increase port density without compromising performance. The connector is particularly suited for distributed antenna systems (DAS), small cell deployments, base stations, and other wireless network architectures that require efficient use of space.
Designed with a flange-mounted NEX10 interface, the connector enables secure panel attachment in densely populated radio equipment and communication systems. It supports broadband operation up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for modern wireless applications that require dependable electrical performance in compact form factors. By accommodating 1.37 mm micro-coax cable, the connector helps designers reduce system size while maintaining signal integrity.
The connector features a white bronze-plated brass body along with silver- and gold-plated contacts. A PTFE insulator is used to provide durability and stable RF performance over long operating periods. These material choices are intended to support reliable operation in demanding communication environments where consistent connectivity is critical.
The launch expands Amphenol RF’s portfolio of compact RF interconnect solutions designed for high-density network infrastructure and low-PIM communication equipment. As wireless networks continue to evolve toward smaller and more densely integrated systems, components that enable efficient space utilization while maintaining signal quality are becoming increasingly important. The new connector addresses these requirements by offering a compact interconnect solution for engineers designing advanced wireless and RF systems.
