ECOFLEX 15 is a very flexible 50Ω low loss coax cable that can operate between DC and 6GHz in frequency. This tech post is a review and a quick how t0 terminate the ECOFLEX 15 coax with N-Type connectors (Art.-Nr. 7395 N-plug, male, solderless).
Ecoflex 15 Coax Specs
Diameter: 14.6 mm
Impedance: 50 Ohm
Attenuation @ 1 GHz/100m 9.8 dB
Attenuation @ 1 GHz/100ft 2.99 dB
Freq Range: DC – 6 GHz
It doesn’t need to be crimped or soldered and is a good field connector.
N Type Ecoflex 15 Coax Termination
- The N-Type connector is a good design that only requires the inner core to be exposed by about 6mm to fit the center pin.
- The outer braid does not need to be stripped back.
- Slide the locking nut, metal compression ring and rubber insert on to the coax in this order.
- Fit the metal slip ring between the outer sheath and the inner copper braid.
- Fit the center pin on to the inner core of the coax.
- Fit the white dielectric spacer over the center pin. This will compress the center pin to the inner core.
- Slide the outer N-Type outer casing over the coax.
- Tighten the connector body to the locking nut.
- Finally give the N Type connector a test tug!
The N-Type connector is a very good fit that is easy to terminate in the field. The coax is very flexible and make it easy to install. A very good physical connection and also excellent RF properities with very little loss. We Like it!
