Powertec RF Attenuator, 4.3-10 Female to 4.3-10 Male
The 106-PCM-ATX-DC38.432 series is a family of in-line RF attenuators designed to reduce signal levels between coaxial components while maintaining a 50 Ω match over a DC to 3 GHz band. Each unit features 4.3-10 female to 4.3-10 male connectors, a low return-loss (VSWR ≤ 1.2:1) characteristic and can withstand up to 5 W of continuous RF power. By inserting a fixed loss in decibels, these attenuators help protect downstream circuitry, balance signal paths or simply trim excess gain in transmitters and receivers.
Three attenuation steps are offered—5 dB, 10 dB and 15 dB—so users can choose the amount of level reduction that best suits their link budget or test setup. Housed in a compact 60 × 19 × 19 mm silver body rated for –35 °C to +65 °C operation, they are ideal for use in telecommunications sites, laboratory bench work or any environment where precise, repeatable attenuation is required.
