Features and Benefits

The evolving demand for 5G capabilities has put pressure on bandwidth and cellular radio sensitivity, which in turn, has put greater demands on the transmission of RF signals from the cellular antenna to the remote radio head. At the same time, connector size and weight restrictions have become more stringent. Molex 5G RF Cable Assembly Solutions offer high-performance RF signal transmission with low-PIM performance and 100% data traceablility with a connector that is 30% smaller and 70% lighter than DIN 7/16.

Coaxial jumpers vary in length and connector interfaces but require premium electrical performance and robust environmental capabilities in order to withstand many years outside in the elements. Molex 5G RF Cable Assemblies are factory fabricated and consist of a one-piece, patent-pending boot that is weatherproof, making it ideal for outdoor cellular sites.

Telecom OEMs and wireless service providers require jumpers in varying lengths and with various connector interfaces. Molex delivers cable assemblies with custom connectors that optimize performance.

 

Robust and reliable RF cable assemblies for 5G deployment

Molex’s complete line of factory-installed RF coax jumpers offer the wireless industry consistent superior performance. Molex designs and manufactures custom connectors and optimizes the performance of the jumpers for excellent passive intermodulation (PIM) and return loss (RL) results. We also offer serialization of our assemblies to help keep data on file for technicians working in the field. We offer cables using 1/2" corrugated cable as well as multiple Superflex cable options.
