Product catalog summary

Introduction
Radiall's NEX10™ series is a compact and lightweight RF coaxial connector designed for outdoor telecom applications up to 20 GHz. Developed in collaboration with leading RF connector manufacturers, it offers robust performance and low passive intermodulation (PIM), making it suitable for new generation telecom equipment.

Characteristics
The NEX10™ connector features a compact design, 50% smaller than the 4.3-10 connectors, and separates electrical and mechanical reference planes to enhance intermodulation performance. It supports multiple configurations, including jacks, plugs, and coupling mechanisms, and is optimized for superflexible corrugated cables.

Features & Benefits

Robust design for outdoor use
Low PIM independent of applied torque
Multiple coupling mechanisms (push-pull and torque)
RF shielding
Optimized for smaller flexible cables
12.7mm minimum flange height
Protected contact areas

Applications

Small Cell and MIMO
