MCX Cable Assemblies
Overview
Amphenol RF’s MCX cable assemblies offer a secure, space-saving RF solution with excellent electrical performance, ideal for compact wireless, GPS, and test applications.
Amphenol RF’s MCX cable assemblies are engineered to provide reliable RF signal transmission in compact spaces where traditional connectors may not fit. The MCX interface uses a snap-on coupling mechanism, which allows for quick installation and disconnection without sacrificing mechanical stability or electrical performance. With support for frequencies up to 6 GHz depending on the cable configuration, these assemblies are ideal for wireless communication systems, portable electronics, and embedded modules.
Available in straight and right-angle plug options, MCX cable assemblies are terminated to a variety of flexible coaxial cable types including RG-174 and RG-316. They are well-suited for applications requiring low-profile RF interconnects with dependable repeatability. All standard configurations are hi-pot and continuity tested. IP67-sealed versions were not identified under this product category on the Amphenol RF website.
