F-Type Terminators

As part of the termination solutions from Amphenol RF, our F-Type terminator series provides engineers and system integrators a dedicated option for coaxial networks that utilize the F-Type interface. These terminations are designed to match standard 75 Ω cable-systems and help minimize signal reflections, standing-wave issues and port isolation concerns.

Whether used in cable-distribution networks, set-top installs, RF instrumentation or broadband transport systems, F-Type terminators from Amphenol RF deliver a dependable mechanical form-factor, standardized interface and impedance-matched termination to ensure system integrity.

Features and Benefits

• Native 75 Ω impedance termination compatible with F-Type cable systems — ensuring correct matching and minimal signal reflection in broadband/coaxial applications.
• Standard F-Type mechanical coupling allows quick installation in patch-panels, coaxial cable runs or termination blocks — reducing field service time and simplifying spare-part management.
• With Amphenol RF’s global product infrastructure backing these parts, engineers benefit from documented performance, standardized part selection and reliable supply chain.
• Helps maintain signal integrity in coaxial systems by properly terminating unused ports or cable ends and limiting reflection-induced distortion or interference.
• Suitable for broadband cable-distribution systems, installers and OEMs benefit from a familiar F-Type format with a trusted manufacturer heritage.

Key Technical Details

• Impedance: 75 Ω — matches standard F-Type coaxial cable systems.
• Frequency Range: Though specific part data may vary, F-Type coax systems typically cover from DC up to several GHz (often up to ~3-4 GHz for budget terminations). Actual performance is cable- and part-dependent.
• Mating Cycles: The F-Type coupling interface is mechanically simple (screw-on style) and usable for numerous connect/disconnect cycles; actual mating-life for terminators depends on environment and usage.
• Temperature Range: Standard Amphenol RF termination parts are designed for typical industrial temperature ranges; actual range may vary with material, finish and termination method.
• Special Features: 75 Ω impedance, standard F-Type mechanical coupling, proven terminator format. Note: Standard parts are not hermetically sealed and unless specified do not carry IP67 rating.

Applications

• Cable‐distribution and broadband networks where F-Type coaxial cables are used and unused ports must be terminated to maintain signal integrity.
• RF installation and set-top-box environments where quick field service termination is required using standard F-Type connectors.
• Instrumentation and test setups utilizing 75 Ω coax runs where termination of unused ends is required to preserve measurement accuracy and minimize reflections.
• Outdoor or indoor infrastructure racks or cabinets where F-Type coax lines interface with other RF devices and proper termination is required to avoid ghosting or leakage.
• General RF system design where engineers need a dependable termination solution aligned with 75 Ω cable architectures and familiar F-Type interconnect formats.
