LCAT7469-10

Attenuators Overview

The LCAT7469-10 is a 10 dB fixed attenuator from L-com, designed for RF applications. It operates from DC to 12 GHz with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device features TNC female (jack) to TNC male (plug) connectors, forming an in-line coaxial module. This configuration allows for direct integration into signal chains to reduce power levels without affecting the characteristic impedance.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 10 dB attenuation across a wide frequency range
• Utilizes robust TNC connector interface for secure connections
• Maintains 50 Ohm system impedance for signal integrity

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal chain power reduction
• Test and measurement equipment interconnects
• Communication system component isolation

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix matches the required attenuation value. Confirm connector gender orientation aligns with existing cable assemblies. Check datasheet for maximum input power limits to ensure safe operation within the specified frequency range.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB loss is required between DC and 12 GHz. Ensure the TNC interface compatibility with adjacent components. Consider physical size constraints as it is a standalone inline module rather than a surface-mount device.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the LCAT7469 series of connectorized attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values including 3dB, 6dB, 10dB, 20dB, and 30dB options. All variants share similar TNC connector types and 50 Ohm impedance characteristics.
