SA6SFSM100W-60

Attenuators Overview

The SA6SFSM100W-60 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for interconnect applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 60 dB with a maximum frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The device features SMA connectors, specifically a female jack on one end and a male plug on the other. It is rated for a power handling capacity of up to 100 Watts and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.45. The unit utilizes a heatsink body construction and has an impedance of 50 Ohms.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Directional signal attenuation capability within specified frequency limits
• Heatsink body construction for thermal management during high-power operation
• Mixed connector interface combining SMA female jack and SMA male plug

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in microwave test and measurement setups
• Attenuation integration in communication systems operating up to 6 GHz
• Protection of sensitive receiver inputs from high-power signals

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Fairview Microwave channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the specific SMA gender configuration matches system requirements. Ensure environmental conditions align with the 100 Watt power rating and heatsink design specifications before deployment.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when precise 60 dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the mixed SMA connector orientation for direct cable interfacing. Evaluate the 100 Watt power rating against peak signal levels to ensure safe operation within the heatsink body thermal limits.
