FMAT7491-10

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7491-10 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for interconnect applications. It features an NEX10 male (plug) to NEX10 female (jack) configuration with a straight orientation. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB and is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 10 Watts. The unit is packaged in a bag.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation through a fixed 10 dB reduction capability.
• Utilizes NEX10 connectors to ensure compatibility with specific coaxial systems.
• Supports high-power operations up to 10 Watts for robust performance.

Attenuators Applications

• Signal level adjustment in RF test and measurement setups
• Protection of sensitive receiver inputs from high-power signals
• Integration into microwave communication systems requiring fixed loss

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the connector gender and series match the system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 10 Watt power rating and 6 GHz frequency limit align with the operational parameters of the intended application. Ensure the NEX10 interface is compatible with existing cabling infrastructure to prevent connection issues.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB loss is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the 10 Watt power rating for high-power environments. Choose NEX10 variants if the system utilizes this specific connector type rather than standard SMA or N-type interfaces.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave attenuators category, specifically within the interconnects subcategory. It serves as a passive RF device used to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The product is distinct from variable attenuators and directional couplers due to its fixed attenuation value.
