G2 Series 2-Piece Trunk and Distribution Connectors Product Information Broadband Products Connector Specifications Bandwidth: 5 MHz to 1 GHz Operating Range: -40F to +140F Nominal Impedance: 75 ohms Shielding Effectiveness: > 130 dB Return Loss: 30 dB minimum Insertion Loss: < 0.12 dB (pin types) Cable Retention: Exceeds cable manufacturers' maximum pulling tension specifications Corning Gilbert introduces the next generation in 2-piece connector technology, with patented design features that provide clear performance advantages over traditional two piece connectors. Only the G2 Series gives installers a full view of the cable's center conductor insertion into the connector seizing mechanism, eliminating traditional blind entry installations. A unique center conductor seizing system prevents actuator lockup and preserves connector reusability. With the patented support sleeve located in the back nut of the connector, cable "pull back" is minimized. This eliminates cable kinking typically associated with 2-piece connector installation.

G-1400-594 07/02 1 Materials and Construction of Connector Components: ASTM 6262 aluminum alloy with gold chromate conversion coating for excellent corrosion resistance and a dry film lubricant to prevent thread galling. Contact pins and support sleeves are brass with bright acid tin plating providing excellent RF conductivity. Product Features1 * Support sleeve located in main nut assembly reduces "pull back" during installation * Back nut radius allows smooth transition of heat shrink tubing * Visible entry of center conductor into seizing mechanism (no blind entry) O-rings are ultraviolet and ozone resistant EPDM for maximum durability. * Unique Actuator closing mechanism preserves reusability * Flush insulator prevents moisture from collecting or migrating along the path * Non-rotational design for installation and disassembly * Brass pins with bright acid tin plating for excellent RF conductivity Ordering Information2 2.31 [58.37 mm] .31 [7.9 mm] .067 [1.7 mm] Pin Center Conductor Cutting Guide 5/8-24 THD 2 General Ordering Information: CH SP EXT EXT-6 BAFF AFM TR Pin Connector Splice Connector 3" Extension Connector 6" Extension Connector "F" Female Connector "F" Male Connector Cable Terminator Pin length is standard 2.31" CommScope P-3 Times Fiber T-10 .500 .625 .750 .875 CommScope QR .540 .715 .860 Part Number G2-500-TYPE2-P3-T G2-625-TYPE2-P3-T G2-750-TYPE2-P3-T G2-875-TYPE2-P3-T 2 G2-540-TYPE -QR-T G2-715-TYPE2-QR-T G2-860-TYPE2-QR-T Part Number Times Fiber TX .480 .565 .700 G2- 480-TYPE -TX-T 2 G2-565-TYPE -TX-T 2 G2-700-TYPE -TX-T Trilogy MC2 .500 .650 .750 G2-500-TYPE -MC2-T 2 G2-650-TYPE -MC2-T 2 G2-750-TYPE -MC2-T 2 2 CommScope P-1 G2-500-CH-P3-T Pin Connector with a 2.31" pin for .500 P3/T10 cable Corning Gilbert Inc.
