IP Rated RF Extension Cables

While some customers opt for self-amalgamating tape to seal the ends of plugs or fully mated connector pairs, this can lead to inconsistencies in water resistance and complicate maintenance, as it would need to be fully removed for any repairs. Alternatively, GCT provides SMA extension cables that comply with IP67, IP68, and IP69K standards at both the connector interface (mated and unmated) and the cable entry points. This solution offers a true fit-and-forget approach, effectively mitigating liquid and dust intrusion issues without the need for additional protection. For even harsher environments, stainless steel versions are available.

Approved to IP67, IP68, and IP69K standards, the GCT CAB606 and CAB613 series of SMA extension cable assemblies come in SMA jack to SMA plug and SMA plug to SMA plug configurations, respectively. They support a frequency range from DC up to 6 GHz and are offered in various lengths to meet specific needs.
