Low Passive intermodulation (Lo-PIM)
To meet the increasing demands for high performance, reduced size and weight while maintaining consistent ultra-low PIM repeatability, e360microwave has developed a family of switches to meet these requirements. Our switches with 4.3-10 DIN connectors offer excellent return loss and PIM performance independent from torque applied which greatly simplifies installation. Available today is a family of switches consisting of SPDT, Transfer and SPMT configurations with a wide variety of options and features. These switches are ideal for the latest evolution of base stations as well as distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cell applications.
