4.3-10 Adapters

Compact, low-PIM RF adapters designed for high-performance connectivity in space-constrained wireless and telecom systems.

Overview

Amphenol RF’s 4.3‑10 adapters offer a size-efficient solution specifically designed for modern RF systems—delivering in-series and between-series configurations that maintain signal integrity in tight spaces. Perfectly suited for DAS, small-cell, base-station, and test instrument applications, these adapters help conserve panel space while ensuring robust performance.

With precision-welded bodies and PTFE dielectrics, each adapter undergoes strict quality control to meet electrical and mechanical benchmarks. The series is optimized for low passive intermodulation (low PIM), low return loss, and compact form factors, ensuring consistent operation up to 6 GHz and in some cases extending to 12 GHz.

Features and Benefits
  • Low-PIM Performance – Delivers low intermodulation distortion, ideal for dense RF installations.
  • Reduced Torque, Lightweight – Compact size reduces torque requirements and is up to 60% lighter than 7/16 DIN alternatives.
  • Versatile Configurations – Available in plug/jack formats for in-series and between-series transitions with N-Type, SMA, 7-16, and other connectors.
  • IP‑Rated Protection – Select models feature IP67 sealing for use in outdoor or harsh environments.
  • Robust Build Quality – Silver-plated contacts, white-bronze bodies, and decoupled mechanical/electrical planes ensure consistent performance.
Applications
  • Telecom & 5G Infrastructure – Ideal for high-density panel installations in DAS, small cells, and base stations.
  • Broadcast & Microwave Systems – Performance up to 12 GHz supports advanced video and microwave links.
  • Test & Measurement – Connector-saver and bulkhead variants protect instrumentation and test ports.
  • Outdoor/Rugged Installations – IP-rated and lightweight designs enable field deployment in harsh conditions.
  • OEM & Industrial RF Panels – Compact adapters support modular, space-constrained enclosure designs.
