Overview
The RF Industries RFHC-3-NF is a 3dB hybrid coupler designed for wireless infrastructure and DAS (Distributed Antenna System) applications spanning 698–2700 MHz. Featuring N Female interfaces on all four ports, this coupler delivers equal signal splitting with low PIM performance of ≤ -150dBc — critical for multi-carrier wireless environments where passive intermodulation interference must be minimized. The unit is IP65-rated for indoor and outdoor installations and is RoHS compliant.
Features
- 3dB equal power splitting across 698–2700 MHz (covers LTE Band 13/17, AWS, PCS, and 2.7GHz bands)
- Low PIM ≤ -150dBc (two +43 dBm carriers, 3rd order intermodulation)
- N Female interface on all ports — industry-standard RF connector for wireless infrastructure
- ≥23 dB port isolation for minimal signal leakage between ports
- VSWR ≤ 1.25 for efficient signal transfer and minimal reflections
- 200W average power handling capacity
- IP65-rated enclosure — protected against dust and water jets for outdoor deployment
- Operating temperature range: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to +149°F)
- 50 Ohm impedance — compatible with standard RF systems
- RoHS compliant construction
- Multiple configurations available from RF Industries
