FMC00408/WP-60

Overview

The FMC00408/WP-60 is a low-loss RF cable assembly manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It features an N Male connector on one end and an N Female connector on the other, designed for reliable signal transmission in demanding environments. The assembly utilizes LMR-400 coaxial cable to ensure minimal signal attenuation over its length. With a specified length of 60 inches, this component provides flexibility for various installation requirements while maintaining consistent impedance characteristics suitable for high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with LMR-400 coaxial cable for low-loss performance
• Features weatherproof design for outdoor or harsh environment use
• Connects N Male to N Female connectors for versatile integration

Applications

• Wireless communication base stations
• Outdoor antenna feed lines
• RF test and measurement setups requiring weather resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific weatherproof rating and connector gender configuration against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 60-inch length aligns with spatial constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type ports in the system architecture to prevent connection issues during installation.

Selection Notes

Choose this assembly when low insertion loss and environmental durability are critical. The LMR-400 core supports higher power handling compared to smaller cables. Consider the straight connector orientation for routing efficiency. Validate frequency range compatibility with operational signals to ensure optimal signal integrity without excessive attenuation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of specialized RF cable assemblies. It is distinct from standard indoor cables due to its weatherproof construction and robust LMR-400 dielectric. The product serves as a bridge between general-purpose coaxial solutions and ruggedized military-grade interconnects, offering a balance of performance and environmental protection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other LMR-400 based N-type assemblies from different manufacturers if identical electrical specifications are met. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same weatherproof sealing standards and connector polarity to ensure seamless interchangeability in existing infrastructure.
