Low PIM Components from RF ONE

In RF communication systems, inter-modulation distortion (IMD) is a critical parameter that can significantly affect signal quality and system performance. One of the major sources of IMD is passive inter-modulation (PIM), which can occur in any passive RF component, such as cables, connectors, adapters, terminations, etc. When RF signal paths share transit and receive signals, PIM becomes a significant issue that needs to be addressed to achieve optimal system performance.

RF ONE is a leading provider of low PIM components designed to offer industry-leading performance with typical 168 dBc (2x20 W) PIM values. These components are ideal for use in various RF communication applications, including cellular networks, satellite communication, military communication, and more.

RF ONE's low PIM components include attenuators, terminations, cable assemblies, and RF adapters, all designed to minimize PIM and enhance overall RF signal path performance.

RF ONE provides a range of low PIM attenuators, offering guaranteed leading PIM performance of -160 dBC in connectors of N type, 4.3-10, and 7/16 DIN, covering power rates of 25 W, 50 W, 100 W, 200 W, to suit different applications and budgets.

RF ONE has been designing low PIM Termination since 2014. Over the past years, we have developed cable terminations ranging from 170 dBc (test grade) to 150 dBc (production grade ). Our low PIM terminations are available in 25 W, 30 W, 50 W, 70 W, 100 W, 150 W and 200 W.

RF ONE offers a wide choice of in-and-between series low passive intermodulation (PIM) adapters for applications such as installation in wireless infrastructure, in-building systems, and PIM testing setup. Our low PIM adapters come in various combinations of 2.2-5, 4.1/9.5 Mini DIN, 4.3-10, 7/16 DIN, N, NEX10, QN and SMA etc. RF ONE low PIM adapters are ideal for wireless applications.
