75Ω Performance in a 50Ω Footprint/SHF Band Ku Capabilities
BIRNS, Inc. a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high performance connectors, cable assemblies and lighting systems, has introduced new RF subsea connector contacts that offer groundbreaking performance attributes. Coax subsea connectors had in the past been challenged in a range of design requirements, in many cases resulting in poor impedance, high losses, and inability to provide open face pressure resistance. However, BIRNS launched proprietary RF technology with contacts capable of open face pressure ratings to 1433m, UHF insertion loss of ≤0.7 dB at signal frequencies to 3GHz and maximum UHF voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.7:1.
