Positive Stop™ Connectors

Secure, foolproof, no-special-tools required connection every time.

Ease connector attachment issues and ensure excellent RF transmission line performance with Positive Stop connectors from Andrew Wireless Solutions. Revolutionary Positive Stop connectors for HELIAX® corrugated coaxial cables require no special tools or torque wrenches, eliminating both guesswork and time consuming measurements.

Using standard wrenches and in less than one rotation, Positive Stop connectors give the installer a clear visual and mechanical verification of a correct fit, sealing out water and sealing in excellent electrical performance. The connectors’ easy verification eliminates the need to control torque levels and provides consistent attachment integrity and electrical performance.

Positive Stop Connectors are waterproof to IP66 and IP68, even unmated.

• No special tools required
• Fully tightens in less than one rotation
• Visual and mechanical verification
• Integrated sealing mechanism
• Faster, simpler installation
• Excellent electrical performance

EZfit® Connectors

Andrew Wireless Solutions new EZfit connectors offer a two-piece construction designed for quick and consistent termination while maintaining superior performance. Termination craftsmanship issues are reduced to a minimum by using the FXL 780 EZfit Series coring tool. The 780 EZfit Series connectors offer the following advantages:

• Compact, light design
• Fast installation
• Butt fit, low torque attachment
• Consistent electrical performance
• Future corrugated applications
• Merges cable portfolio
• Reduces spares/inventory

Brass is used as the connector body base material. The center contact is either gold or silver-plated, depending on the interface. All other surfaces are tri-metal coated. The insulator is made of either polytetraflourethylene (PTFE) per ASTMD1457 or methylpentene copolymer. All o-rings are made of ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) per ASTM D1418 to ensure the tightest seal against moisture ingress.

OnePiece™ Family of Connectors

OnePiece connectors save time and money. System engineers, installers, and purchasing personnel all benefit from the advanced design of OnePiece connectors. The captivated, preset inner contact pin and patented clamping mechanism provide lower IM and attenuation and exceptional mechanical reliability. One-step installation is faster, easier, and more precise. OnePiece connectors are priced lower than most standard connectors.

RingFlare™ Family of Connectors

Fast-fitting RingFlare connectors are available in a variety of interface types for a large selection of HELIAX® LDF series cables. The RingFlare connector is a simple, two-piece threaded connector with a captivated one-piece inner contact pin, factory set to the correct depth. RingFlare connectors are completely weatherproof and field proven. With fewer components and attachment procedures, the RingFlare also offers fast installation. 7-16 DIN male, 7-16 DIN female, N-male, and N-female connectors are available for most HELIAX LDF style cables.

HELIAX® Standard Connectors

Andrew HELIAX standard connectors are designed for fast, accurate installation and to ensure low IMD, low VSWR, and system integrity in the harshest of outdoor environments.
