Connectors offer higher performance on low loss cables

AMPHENOL RF has introduced a selection of redesigned TNC connectors optimised for use with Low Loss 195 and 240 cables. Low Loss cables provide enhanced shielding with a bonded foil construction ensuring 100 per cent coverage. The connectors feature a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and offer low return loss from DC to 6 GHz. The new TNC connectors are available in straight jack, bulkhead jack, straight plug and right angle plug configurations. All designs feature a crimp termination, allowing for quick and secure assembly, and require standard hex crimp tooling. The redesigned TNC connectors provide consistent electrical performance at high frequencies and feature improved grounding for more stable RF performance. Amphenol RF’s TNC connectors optimised for Low Loss cables are suitable for applications requiring high reliability and low signal loss. TNC connectors can also be found in various industrial, wireless and broadband solutions. Amphenol RF is a manufacturer of coaxial connectors for use in radio frequency, microwave and data transmission system applications.

LUKAS Anlagenbau GmbH, a family owned manufacturer from Bavaria/Germany, founded in 1959, is producing customer specific equipment for the wire and cable industry. Our focus is on complete taping lines with taping materials like e.g. PTFE, Kapton, Mica, paper or metal. Also for producing special cables for medical, aircraft or power applications our taping lines can be found at the company premises of many well known suppliers worldwide. Lukas at Wire China 2018, Booth no. W1D54.

With a new drive concept, LUKAS ensures a further improvement of quality in the taping technology: Undesirable effects may occur occasionally in taping units, due to frictional wear on moving parts of the force transmission (e.g., drive belts), especially when using certain taping materials. These effects appear as an “undulation” of the diameter of the finished wire product. LUKAS has now developed a new drive concept that reduces these effects to a minimum. A hollow shaft drive together with a light weighted carbon head improves the running qualities so that frictional wear is reduced and – as a positive side-effect - the production speed can be significantly increased. Additionally, the design of our components has been revised for easier handling and better serviceability.

Furthermore our product range covers single components like pay- offs, capstans, caterpillars, sintering ovens and take-ups, up to complete rewinding lines and fine wire drawing lines for non-ferrous materials.
