CPL-5226-10-SMA-79

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CPL-5226-10-SMA-79 is an RF directional coupler module manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a nominal coupling coefficient of 10 dB with a tolerance of ±1 dB. The component supports a maximum power handling capacity of 50 W and utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections. Constructed as an in-line module, it features an aluminum body finished with grey paint and gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission in high-frequency applications.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise 10 dB coupling with ±1 dB tolerance across the specified frequency band
• Supports high power handling up to 50 W for robust performance
• Features durable aluminum construction with gold-plated contacts

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring and measurement systems
• High-frequency communication equipment testing
• Directional power sampling in microwave circuits

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required coupling tolerance of ±1 dB aligns with system specifications. Confirm that the 50 W power rating meets operational requirements. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB coupling factor is required between 6 GHz and 18 GHz. Consider the 50 W power limit for high-power signal paths. The SMA interface dictates connector compatibility with downstream components. Aluminum housing offers thermal stability suitable for continuous operation.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to the CPL-52 series of directional couplers from Midwest Microwave. It shares design characteristics with other models in the family, such as the CPL-5226-20-SMA-79, which offers different coupling values. The series is designed for modular integration into RF test and measurement setups requiring stable directional coupling.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other CPL-5226 variants with matching coupling coefficients. Verify frequency range overlap and power handling capabilities before substitution. Connector type must remain compatible with existing SMA interfaces.
