LCAT1007-07

Overview

The LCAT1007-07 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by L-com, designed for high-frequency signal management. It provides a nominal attenuation of 7 dB with a power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The device operates within a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz. It features N-type connectors on both ends, specifically configured as male and female interfaces. The unit utilizes a brass body construction to ensure durability and thermal stability during operation.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 7 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Supports continuous power handling up to 2 Watts
• Operates effectively across a wide bandwidth from DC to 18 GHz
• Constructed with a durable brass housing for reliable performance

Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• Satellite communication equipment
• Radar system testing and calibration
• RF signal level adjustment in test setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the required circuit design, as this model specifies N-type male and female interfaces. Confirm that the 2W power rating and 18GHz frequency limit align with the operational requirements of the target application. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type cabling infrastructure before integration into the system.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 7 dB reduction is required in high-frequency environments up to 18 GHz. Consider the 2W power handling capability for moderate signal levels. The N-type interface ensures standard connectivity. Evaluate the brass construction for environmental robustness compared to alternative materials if extreme conditions are present.

Part Context

This part belongs to the L-com passive series of connectorized attenuators. It is categorized under interconnect components designed for RF signal control. The product line focuses on providing stable attenuation values for professional electronic and industrial applications requiring precise signal management.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other L-com models in the LCAT1007 series for different attenuation values such as 8dB or 9dB. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same N-type connector gender combination and 2W power rating to ensure functional equivalence.
