Product: JK M/F Coaxial Fixed Attenuator What it is - A fixed coaxial attenuator (JK M/F) with a single M/F interface, designed to reduce RF signal levels cleanly and reliably. Key specifications - Type: Fixed attenuation, single-interface coaxial attenuator (JK M/F) - Power handling: 10 W - Frequency range: DC to 4 GHz - Impedance: 5022 (as specified) - Connector configuration: M (male) / F (female) Why you need it — core benefits - Protects sensitive equipment: Attenuates high-level signals to prevent damage or overload of receivers, spectrum analyzers, and other test instruments. - Improves measurement accuracy: Lowers signal levels without introducing distortion or compression when used within the 10 W rating, helping maintain linearity in test and measurement setups. - Minimizes reflections: Designed to provide the specified system impedance (5022) to reduce mismatches, standing waves, and unwanted reflections across DC–4 GHz. - Wideband compatibility: Single device covers a broad frequency range, removing the need to change attenuators across many common RF bands. What makes it stand out - High power capability for a compact fixed attenuator: Handles up to 10 W so it can be used with stronger RF sources while maintaining stable attenuation. - Simple M/F coaxial interface for easy integration into existing RF lines and test chains. - Broad DC–4 GHz coverage for versatile use across many RF applications. Practical attributes to consider - Function: Fixed attenuation for predictable reduction of signal amplitude. - Compatibility: Use where the system impedance specified (5022) and frequency range (DC–4 GHz) are acceptable; designed for standard coaxial RF links using M/F connectors. - Performance: Rated for continuous handling of up to 10 W without introducing distortion when used within specifications. - Construction: Coaxial single-interface design intended for inline insertion in RF signal paths. Typical applications - Test and measurement: Protect spectrum analyzers, power meters, and receivers by attenuating incoming signals during lab measurements and bench testing. - RF system integration: Reduce transmitter output or adjust signal levels between stages in RF equipment or prototyping setups operating up to 4 GHz. - Signal conditioning and protection: Prevent front-end overload in communication links, monitoring equipment, or diagnostic setups. Installation notes - Verify that the system impedance matches the specified 5022 value and that connectors are compatible with the M/F configuration. - Ensure the expected RF power level stays within the 10 W rating to avoid degradation or damage. - Use within the DC–4 GHz frequency band to maintain intended performance.
