LCAT7468-10

Overview

The LCAT7468-10 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by L-com, designed for in-line module applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device operates across a frequency range from DC to 12 GHz. It features N-type connectors, specifically an N plug (male) to N jack (female) configuration. The unit supports a maximum continuous wave power rating of 2 Watts and maintains a maximum VSWR of 1.35:1.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value
• N-type male to female connector interface
• Operates from DC to 12 GHz
• Supports 2 Watts maximum power

Applications

• RF signal level reduction
• Test and measurement setups
• Telecommunications systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the LCAT7468-10 to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type connector interfaces in the target circuit design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB reduction is required within the 12 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 2W power handling capability and the specific male-to-female connector orientation for proper system integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LCAT7468 series of fixed attenuators from L-com. The series includes variants with different attenuation values, such as the LCAT7468-5 and LCAT7468-9, all sharing similar N-type connector designs and frequency ranges up to 12 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LCAT7468 series models like LCAT7468-9 or LCAT7468-5 if different attenuation levels are acceptable. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 10 dB value, 50 Ohm impedance, and N-type connector specifications.
