The IEEE 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) is the premier annual international meeting for technologists involved in all aspects of microwave theory and practice. For Molex, another outstanding IMS presence is to be expected as we bring our innovative and diverse suite of RF/Microwave connectors and cable assemblies to booth 2226. New this year, Molex will showcase offerings from the recently acquired company SDP Telecom, a designer and manufacturer of RF/Microwave ferrite devices and subsystems for the wireless communications market.  The acquisition cements the commitment Molex has to bring the best possible solutions to our customers.  Molex subject matter experts will showcase and display a range of innovative and reliable Molex interconnect products solutions available for the RF/microwave market, covering frequencies up to 65 GHz. These include:

• Customized RF/Microwave Connectors: Tailored to specific applications, these connectors provide design flexibility to OEMs and include solutions such as multi-port RF products, IP rated, sealed RF products, solderless PCB attachment, non-magnetic connectors and a wide range of cable assemblies and unique adapters, all available in 50 or 75 Ohm impedance.

• RF DIN 1.0/2.3 Modular Backplane System: Allows designers to consolidate space and improve system routing of RF signals for board-to-board communications.  The high-performance system delivers port expansion capability up to 10 ports and 75 Ohm impedance, with 1.00mm axial tolerance for superior orthogonal mating flexibility in a wide range of video and broadcast applications.

• Temp-Flex® Low Loss Flexible Microwave Coaxial Cables: Featuring either a solid core or monofilament dielectric for faster signal speed (70% and 85 to 88% Velocity of propagation respectively) and improved electrical performance in high-bandwidth applications, these cables are designed for use in harsh environments. The low and ultra-low loss microwave coax cables offer phase stability under dynamic conditions, tight impedance tolerances and bandwidth potential up to 110 GHz.

• SDP Telecom Isolators, Circulators and Couplers:

Offering low cost, extreme performance alternatives in over 3,000 variants, SDP Telecom customizes its solutions to match the mechanical, thermal, and electrical needs of its customers.

• SDP Telecom Subsystems for DAS and IBS:

A distributed antenna systems (DAS) is a network of antennas and RF distribution networks placed throughout a building to provide indoor coverage.  SDP Telecom’s components and subsystems help improve this coverage by delivering the highest level of performance, reliability and flexibility to meet the needs of current and future wireless communication generations.

In addition, Molex offers standard, off-the-shelf, high performance assemblies using Temp-Flex low-loss and ultra-low loss cables.  For more information about RF/Microwave solutions from Molex, please visit www.molex.com/link/rfmicrowavecoax.html.

We look forward to another successful show and gaining additional insight on the market!
