High Performance, Factory-Installed, Right Angle Connectors for SureFlex Cable Assemblies.Business Editors/High Tech Writers ORLAND PARK Or·land Park A village of northeast Illinois, a residential and manufacturing suburb of Chicago. Population: 53,300. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2000 -- New connectors take tight turns with ease and provide excellent electrical performance -- Andrew Corporation Andrew Corporation is an American multinational producer of communications devices. Andrew is a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of communications equipment, services, and systems. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANDW) introduced factory-installed, right angle connectors for its patented SureFlex(TM) cable assemblies. The new connectors give the excellent electrical performance of a straight connector with the mechanical advantages of a right angle connector. In factory tests, SureFlex 1/2-inch cable assemblies with right angle connectors are providing unprecedented return loss of 28 dB or better up to 2.5 GHz. Wireless RF system designers and engineers can design systems using the new right angle connectors to negotiate tight turns in enclosed spaces such as radio cabinets. "The SureFlex right angle connector significantly improves electrical performance by minimizing signal reflection," said Leo Leo, in astronomy Leo [Lat.,=the lion], northern constellation lying S of Ursa Major and on the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun through the heavens) between Cancer and Virgo; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Messier, Andrew Corporation's business unit manager, HELIAX connectors. "Other right angle connectors have inner pins made up of two segments that must be screwed or soldered at the right angle interface; this makes them more susceptible to intermodulation in·ter·mod·u·la·tion n. Modulation of the frequencies of electromagnetic waves occurring when the waves interact as they are transmitted through a nonlinear electronic system. and signal reflection. The Andrew version has a continuous swept pin with no hard right angle." The new right angle connectors are available on SureFlex cable assemblies for 1/2-, 3/8-, 1/4-inch HELIAX(R) Superflexible foam dielectric cable. Andrew uses a factory-automated connector attachment technique for its SureFlex assemblies that solders both the inner and outer conductors at the cable interface to provide consistent, accurate pin depth. This attachment method gives excellent electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance; it's weatherproof and has exceptional stability. In-factory assembly ensures high pull-off strength and the best performance from HELIAX(R) cable and connectors.
