Coaxial Adaptors Put Down PIM

Passive intermodulation (PIM) can wreak havoc on communications systems, especially those trying to transfer large amounts of data or digitally modulated signals. For that reason, San-tron has developed a full line of low-PIM coaxial adaptors within their SRX™ product line. These high-performance adaptors manage to drop PIM to levels of -170 dBc and less. They are available for 7/16 and Type N within-series applications and 7/16 between-series (such as to Type N and SMA connectors) applications, complementing the company’s low-distortion cable assemblies. According to San-tron Director of Engineering, Fred Hull: “Paying close attention to material selection and manufacturing practices has paid big dividends in the performance and reliability of this impressive line of low-PIM adapters. Without a doubt, this new line has pushed the boundaries of adapter performance, particularly with smaller interfaces.”
