FAKRA Connectors: Automotive RF Standards and Color Codes Explained
FAKRA Connectors: Automotive RF Standards and Color Codes Explained

FAKRA is an automotive RF connector system that combines a coaxial interface with mechanically keyed, color-coded housings. Color supports identification; the exact coding and approved part drawing determine mating. A blue, black or water-blue hous… More

Space-Grade RF Cabling Basics: What ISRO-Ecosystem Suppliers Need to Know
Space-Grade RF Cabling Basics: What ISRO-Ecosystem Suppliers Need to Know

Space-grade RF cabling requires program-specific material, process, qualification and acceptance evidence beyond a cable's GHz or temperature rating. ISRO-ecosystem suppliers should work from the actual tender, drawing and quality requirements rath… More

QMA and QN Connectors: Quick-Lock Alternatives to SMA and N
QMA and QN Connectors: Quick-Lock Alternatives to SMA and N

QMA and QN are quick-lock RF connector interfaces intended as alternatives to threaded SMA and N connections in suitable designs. QMA does not directly mate with SMA, and QN does not directly mate with N. The equipment interface, approved mating pa… More

India's 5G Buildout: DAS and Small-Cell Cabling Opportunities
India's 5G Buildout: DAS and Small-Cell Cabling Opportunities

India's DAS and small-cell projects can need RF jumpers and antenna feeds, but the cable demand depends on the network architecture. Passive RF distribution, active remote units and integrated radios do not all use long coax paths, so identify the … More

RF Cables for LoRa and LoRaWAN Gateways (868/915 MHz)
RF Cables for LoRa and LoRaWAN Gateways (868/915 MHz)

A LoRaWAN gateway is indoors while the antenna is mounted above the roof line. Moving the antenna improves visibility, but a long thin feeder can consume much of that benefit. The right cable is the one that preserves useful margin without creating… More

Drone & UAV RF Cable Assemblies: Weight, Flex and Vibration Design
Drone & UAV RF Cable Assemblies: Weight, Flex and Vibration Design

A drone passes an RF bench test and then loses video during vibration. The cable weighs only a few grams, but its unsupported connector can move, its bend can tighten and its shield can fatigue. Static RF results do not establish flight reliability… More

Importing vs Buying Indian-Made RF Assemblies: Duty, Lead Time and TCO
Importing vs Buying Indian-Made RF Assemblies: Duty, Lead Time and TCO

Compare imported and Indian-made RF assemblies by the cost and time to obtain accepted units, not only the quoted unit price. Import duty depends on the actual classification, origin and applicable notifications, so a generic coax percentage is not… More

TNC Connectors: The Threaded BNC for Vibration-Heavy Environments
TNC Connectors: The Threaded BNC for Vibration-Heavy Environments

TNC connectors use threaded coupling to provide a secure RF mating interface where vibration and mechanical stress matter. TNC shares design lineage with BNC, but a TNC connector does not directly mate with a BNC port. Standard TNC and reverse-pola… More

CCTV and Security Camera Coax: RG59 vs RG6 vs IP Hybrid Systems
CCTV and Security Camera Coax: RG59 vs RG6 vs IP Hybrid Systems

An existing camera installation has usable coax in the walls, but the recorder is being upgraded. Replacing everything with IP cameras may be attractive; preserving the coax may also be practical. The decision starts with signal format, cable condi… More

RF Cable Assemblies for Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Setups
RF Cable Assemblies for Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Setups

An SDR receives a strong local broadcast station but misses a weak signal farther up the band. The user adds an LNA and the spectrum becomes worse. The problem may be overload rather than cable loss. Cable selection is part of the receiver system, … More
