- Frequency Range:
- Up to 3 GHz: Effective up to 3 GHz, making it suitable for many RF and signal distribution applications. Confirm this range is appropriate for your specific needs.
- Impedance:
- 75 Ohms: F-type connectors are typically used in 75-ohm systems, which are common in video and broadcast applications.
- Connector Types:
- F Female: All three connectors are F-type female connectors, featuring a center socket and a threaded coupling mechanism for secure connection.
- Insertion Loss:
- Typically ≤ 0.5 dB: Represents the amount of signal power lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower insertion loss is better for maintaining signal strength.
- Return Loss:
- Typically ≥ 15 dB: Indicates how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher return loss values reflect less signal reflection and better performance.
- VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
- Typically ≤ 1.5: Shows how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are preferable for preserving signal quality.
- Construction Material:
- Body: Typically made from durable materials such as brass or stainless steel.
- Plating: Often gold or nickel-plated to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
- Temperature Range:
- Typically -55°C to +165°C: Ensures reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
- Size and Weight:
- Compact Design: Designed to be compact and durable, suitable for integration into RF and signal distribution systems with space constraints.
Example Part Number:
- Manufacturer: Look for RF and signal distribution component suppliers such as Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies.
- Part Number Example: Models like Pasternack PE4515 or similar might be used. Always verify the exact part number and specifications with the supplier.
Applications:
- RF and Signal Distribution Systems: Distributes or combines signals in systems that use F-type connectors.
- Video and Broadcast Applications: Common in video and broadcast equipment where F-type connectors are standard.
- Test and Measurement: Useful in setups where splitting or combining signals is required.
Visual Inspection:
- Connector Compatibility: Ensure that all three F-type female connectors are properly aligned and threaded for secure connection.
When selecting a T-Type F (Female-Female-Female) adapter, ensure it meets your frequency, impedance, and performance requirements. Always consult datasheets and specifications provided by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and optimal performance for your specific application.
