INTRODUCTION The "Quick Lock Formula " QMA and connectors, patented products, become some real standard for the RF Telecommunications industry. The "QLF " trademark, Quick Lock Formula, standard applies to QMA and series and guarantees the full intermateability between suppliers using this trademark. Using QLF certified connectors also guarantees the high level of performance of the RF transmission. connectors (Quick Lock N) and QMA (Quick Lock SMA) enable fast, secured and easy matings with minimum space requirements. The and QMA series are the perfect alternative to N and SMA connectors in new generation telecommunication systems as well as in many other RF applications series Exhibiting the same operating frequency range as N series between DC and GHz, the new series performance has been optimized from DC to 6 GHz for 50 Ω applications. The new interface typically features a VSWR of.05 from DC to 3 GHz and. from 3 to 6 GHz. The corresponding return loss is 3 db from DC to 3 GHz and 5 db from 3 to 6 GHz. The high screening effectiveness enables a level of RF leakage as low as -90 db from DC to 3 GHz and -80 db from 3 to 6 GHz. Designed for indoor and outdoor applications such as BTS, antenna systems or test and measurement devices, connectors offer very good intermodulation level (-55 dbc / - dbm) and an IP rating of 68 (water and dust protection). The power rating is 300 W at.5 GHz and the engagement life is 00 matings. Saving installation time: 0 times faster connectors are 0 times quicker to connect compared to N connectors reducing the cost of ownership. With its snap-on interface, it takes only seconds to connect connectors in field condition. -4
INTRODUCTION Space saving In new high-density applications, distance between connectors can be optimized on the panel compared to N models, as new ones require less space. The size of snap-on connectors is indeed smaller than corresponding usual screw-on N models and space for the use of a tool can be saved. The pitch between two connectors is only 0 mm compared to 40 mm minimum for N connectors. Secure connection : Click! connectors have a positive locking system. Applying an engagement force of 30N, you connect connectors. An audible click ensures a good connection. Pulling back, the decoupling nut opens the elastic ring allowing the deconnection with 30N. The retention force of the interface is 450N. connectors ensure a secure link and eliminate the risk of loose or overtorqued connections. implementation At anytime, you can switch from N to configuration as Panel drilling are the same. In addition, flange receptacles are available with N flange in order to replace N connectors or with TNC flange in order to optimize panel implementation. Thanks to a snap-on interface, no torque wrench is required to connect connectors. Cost saving As no torque wrench is required, risk in damaging or scratching the panel is eliminated. Another advantage of the new series is that the cabled plugs can freely rotate around the panel jacks, avoiding any stress on the cable and allowing more flexibility during the mounting process. Adding all these advantages to the time saving, space saving and improvement of the quality of connection, connectors have a reduced cost of ownership compared to N connectors.
