CPL-5028-30-NNN-79

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CPL-5028-30-NNN-79 is a standard RF directional coupler manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a nominal coupling coefficient of 30 dB with a tolerance of ±1 dB. The device supports a maximum power handling capacity of 100 W and features N-type straight plug connectors. Constructed for coaxial applications, it maintains a 50 Ohm impedance system, ensuring reliable signal sampling in high-frequency microwave environments.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise 30 dB signal coupling across a broad 2 GHz to 18 GHz operational bandwidth
• Engineered for high-power handling capabilities up to 100 W in continuous wave applications
• Utilizes robust N-type straight plug connectors for secure coaxial interface integration

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring and sampling in wideband communication systems
• Power measurement setups requiring high isolation and coupling accuracy
• Microwave test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration required for your assembly, as the model suffix indicates standard N-type connections. Confirm that the 100 W power rating aligns with your system's peak and average power levels. Ensure the 2-18 GHz frequency range covers your entire operational spectrum without degradation. Cross-reference the datasheet for detailed VSWR and directivity specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband 2-18 GHz coverage is necessary alongside high power handling. The 30 dB coupling value is suitable for general-purpose signal sampling where significant attenuation is acceptable. Consider the physical size and N-type connector compatibility with existing cable assemblies. This model is appropriate for applications requiring durable coaxial construction rather than miniature surface-mount solutions.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CPL-5028 series of RF directional couplers from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various coupling values and connector options, with the '30' indicating the 30 dB coupling coefficient and 'NNN' denoting the standard N-type connector configuration. It is designed for use in demanding microwave environments requiring stable performance over a multi-octave bandwidth.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Substitute models with identical 30 dB coupling and 2-18 GHz frequency ranges may be considered. Verify that replacement parts support equal or higher power ratings and compatible N-type interfaces. Check manufacturer datasheets for dimensional and electrical parameter equivalence to ensure seamless integration into existing RF chains.
