TM 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 @ 1 Ghz 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 kinking typically associated with 2-piece connector installation. (c) 2002 Corning Gilbert Inc. G-1400-594 03/02 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 Features * 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) * Unique actuator closing mechanism preserves reusability * Flush insulator prevents moisture from collecting or migrating along the path * Non-rotational design for installation and disassembly O-rings are ultraviolet and ozone resistant EPDM for maximum durability.
