• Fixed 6 dB attenuation level
• BNC connector interface
• Operates up to 4 GHz
• 2 Watt power handling

Applications

• RF signal testing
• Signal level adjustment
• Impedance matching in 50 Ohm systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the PE7049-6 model to confirm exact physical dimensions and connector tolerances. Ensure compatibility with existing BNC infrastructure. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Confirm operating temperature ranges against environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system using BNC interfaces. Suitable for frequencies up to 4 GHz. Consider power handling requirements of 2 Watts. Brass construction offers standard durability.

Part Context

Part of the Pasternack PE7049 series of fixed attenuators. Designed for general RF interconnect needs. Provides consistent performance in laboratory and field applications. Standard BNC connectivity simplifies integration into test setups.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent 6 dB BNC fixed attenuators from other manufacturers. Verify identical impedance (50 Ohm) and frequency range (up to 4 GHz). Ensure similar power ratings and connector gender/polarity match.
