Reliable High-Frequency PerformanceDesigned for frequencies from DC up to 6 GHz, this MCX connector guarantees low VSWR (1.3 up to 3 GHz), making it suitable for robust RF transmission requirements. The gold over nickel plating boosts conductivity, minimizing signal loss and supporting high-performance applications in telecommunications and wireless systems.
Convenient Panel Mount DesignWith its 2-hole flange and pre-drilled mounting holes spaced at 7.5mm center-to-center, installation on panels is quick and secure. The snap-on locking mechanism enables fast, tool-free connection and disconnection, reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency during device maintenance or replacement.
Outstanding Durability and ConductivityGold-plated brass construction ensures low contact resistance (10m center, 5m outer) and over 500 mating cycles, making this connector durable even in demanding environments. The PTFE insulator provides excellent insulation resistance (>5000M), and the connector withstands operating temperatures from -40C to +85C.
