NEX10®

NEX10® interface offers very low PIM performance together with a robust design and small size. Another key feature of NEX10® is the separation of electrical contact from mechanical contact area, which yields a low PIM and high return loss performance independent of the coupling mechanism or applied torque. This characteristics also gives the possibility of offering the connector plug with screw, hand-screw and quick-lock designs, thus simplifying the installation effort while guaranteeing a very high electrical performance for all coupling mechanisms. Additionally, the interface specific weather protection boot provides guaranteed protection against corrosion and extreme weather conditions.

Applications

Because of its design features, NEX10® is the ideal candidate for applications requiring PIM stability and robustness in a small size such as remote radios, distributed antenna systems (DAS), small cells and in-building architecture.

• In small cell applications, NEX10® is particularly suited for challenging space restrictions and electrical performances requirements
• In low power base stations, NEX10® can be used for interconnections in the remote radio head as well as interface on the antenna and on the jumpers
• In multi-operator/multiband DAS, NEX10® can be used where RF signals have to be combined,  terminated, or distributed to the antenna
• Blind mate for panel-to-panel and test and measurement
• For dense applications, the multi-coax will offer the best solution with four signals line in one connector
