RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for MECA low PIM, 380-2700 MHz terminations. MECA’s LPTC100-4310M handles 100W with a typical PIM rating of -161dBc. PIM (Passive Intermodulation) is the non-linear mixing of 2 or more frequencies in a passive (or linear) device creating poor system performance in equipment such as distributed antenna systems (DAS). With a 4.3/10.0 DIN Male connector, the LPTC100-4310M is IP 67 rated, making it a perfect choice for harsh environments. Made in USA, MECA low PIM terminations are also available with N-type and 7/16 connectors and power handling options of 10, 50, 100 & 250…
