78EIA-HCA78-020
7/8" EIA Connector for 7/8" Air Cable, Gas Stop/Pass, Compound Sealing

Rev : E | Rev date : 02 Jan 2025

These high performance coaxial cable connectors are designed specifically to provide the highest quality connector-cable interface while simplifying and speeding up the attachment of connectors to air dielectric coaxial cables. The connectors are fully tested for mechanical and electrical compliance specifications. They are available in all popular cable sizes in a variety of mating interfaces. EIA connectors provide optimal power handling for the complete transmission line system.

Connectors are available in sizes matching the nominal cable size. To join two EIA connectors, a coupling element is used to make the connection of the center conductor. The coupling element has to be ordered separately.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Excellent gas tightness
  • Robust Mechanical Design, Superior and consistent performance guarantees outstanding system characteristics.
  • Extremely low reflection factor, Outstanding low reflection factor improves overall system performance and margin, and reduces mismatch losses
  • Waterproof rates at IP68, ensuring safe, long term operation in the harshest of environments.
