LCAT1000-06

Overview

The LCAT1000-06 is a fixed RF attenuator from the L-Com Passive series, designed for in-line signal reduction. It features SMA male-to-female connectors and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB at a 50 Ohm impedance with a 2 W power rating. Key electrical specifications include a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.2:1 and an operating temperature range spanning -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial in-line design with hex nut body for secure installation
• SMA male to SMA female connector configuration
• Wide operational temperature capability

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Signal conditioning in microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the LCAT1000-06 to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance certifications. Ensure that the SMA connector gender and frequency range align precisely with system requirements before procurement. Cross-reference official L-Com documentation for any updates regarding material composition or environmental restrictions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 6 dB attenuation value is required within a 6 GHz bandwidth. The 2 W power handling capacity suits moderate power applications. The SMA interface dictates compatibility with existing SMA-based infrastructure. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting style if space constraints exist within the assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the L-Com Passive series of connectorized attenuators. These devices are engineered for reliable performance in radio frequency environments. The series offers various attenuation values and connector types to support diverse interconnect needs across industrial and commercial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly documented parameter-equivalent substitutes include models from Cinch Connectivity Solutions, Pasternack, and Radiall. Verify that alternative part numbers match the 6 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA connector type exactly.
