1.0-2.3 Adapters
Compact coaxial adapters for seamless RF transitions between 1.0-2.3 and other standard interfaces including BNC, SMA, N-Type, and HD-BNC.
Overview
Amphenol RF’s 1.0-2.3 adapters are designed to support high-density, high-performance RF applications where space savings and signal integrity are critical. These compact DIN-style adapters offer reliable in-series and between-series conversions in both 50 ohm and 75 ohm configurations, ideal for broadcast, instrumentation, and telecommunication systems.
Available in a variety of straight and bulkhead designs, these adapters feature precision-machined components and durable plated finishes to ensure consistent electrical performance up to 10 GHz. The 1.0-2.3 interface allows engineers to maximize panel space without sacrificing signal quality, and is commonly used in conjunction with BNC, SMA, and N-Type connectors across high-frequency applications.

These connectors offer various impedances and frequency ranges, with HD-BNC providing the highest density at an 8mm pitch and supporting data rates up to 12 Gb/s. Applications include high-definition transmission, video routing, mobile broadcast equipment, and digital signage, ensuring reliable performance and reduced equipment size without compromising signal integrity.
White Paper: High Density Interconnect Standards
The "High Density Interconnect Standards for Next Generation Broadcast Networks" paper discusses the HD-BNC connector, designed to meet modern broadcast systems' demands for higher density and performance. HD-BNC offers significant density improvements over traditional BNC connectors, with a 75 ohm interface optimized for high bandwidth up to 6 GHz. It maintains robustness and user-friendly bayonet-style mating, providing better mechanical and RF performance than other high-density alternatives like 1.0/2.3 and Mini-BNC. The HD-BNC's design ensures compatibility with industry-standard tools and cables, making it a superior choice for next-generation broadcast applications.
