Waterproof and tamper-resistant pre-configured cable assemblies add design value

Update: April 2, 2021

Amphenol RF has released its waterproof IP-rated and tamper-resistant cable assemblies produced using 1.13mm micro coax cable. These cable assemblies are provided across three popular connector series – SMA, TNC and RP-TNC – and offer the ultraminiature AMC connector on one end. These ultraminiature assemblies are designed for use in applications where systems can be compromised through exposure to the elements or external tampering, giving strong protection against both.

All three cable assembly configurations operate at 50Ohms and employ the familiar threaded interface, assuring mating stability and stable electrical performance. The front-mounted bulkhead jacks can be fixed on the inside of the panel or enclosure, which gives extra security for sensitive systems. The 1.13mm micro coax cable gives extra flexibility for installation requirements, as well as an ultraminiature, mated connection for small spaces and crowded PCBs.

Waterproof sealed solutions are constructed to protect applications from outside elements and are fully tested to IP67 specifications in the mated and unmated condition. RF lines are intended to satisfy interface performance specifications, with the addition of internal and external sealing features. IP67 products are ideal for various applications, including remote outdoor enclosures, portable radios, handheld devices and industrial equipment.
