• Features robust TNC female inline connectors for secure coaxial integration
• Engineered to handle up to 50 watts of maximum RF power

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring and measurement systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation setups
• Communication system signal sampling

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and coupling value against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 50-watt power rating aligns with the intended application's thermal and electrical loads. Ensure the TNC interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Check for any updated environmental compliance documentation if required for the specific deployment region.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB coupling ratio is required between 2 GHz and 4 GHz. The TNC interface offers a balance of performance and mechanical stability for moderate frequencies. Consider the 50-watt power limit when designing the signal chain. This component serves as a passive solution for directional signal sampling without active amplification or complex filtering needs.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CPL-52 series of directional couplers from Midwest Microwave. The series includes various coupling values and frequency ranges, such as the CPL-5211 (1-2 GHz) and CPL-5221 (1-4 GHz). The CPL-5212 variant specifically targets the 2-4 GHz band with a 30 dB tap, offering a standardized solution for mid-band RF applications requiring high directivity.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other CPL-52 series models with matching frequency and coupling specs. Verify connector type compatibility, as SMA or TNC variants exist within the same family. Cross-reference with MIL-DTL-3410 equivalents if military specifications are mandated for the end-use environment.
