Impedance Matching
Mismatched impedance causes reflected signals and losses. Hughes accurate impedance to frequency profiling guarantees low VSWR
ra os, fewer losses and more power.
Uni-Fit Pro
The Universal Connector for All Cellular Feeder Cables
The Uni-Fit Pro is the only 7/16 DIN style feeder connector the consummate
professional needs in his toolbox.
Low PIM
Uni-Fit Pro connectors are electro-plated with Hughes resilient tri-metal coa ng
to provide resistance to PIM sources such as corrosion and abrasions, they are
supplied with Hughes specially designed mul ple choice o-rings and sealing
lubricant to aid assembly and form an IP rated water ght bond with just about
any form of 7/8th feeder cable.
4.3/10 Connectors
Hughes 4.3/10 connector is developed especially to meet the challenges of limited
space on cellular equipment interfaces. Developed at our centre of excellence (also
responsible for the WaveWay connector) Hughes 4.3/10 connectors benefit from
years of PIM related research and incorporate separated axial plane coupling to
assist in delimited signal transit.
Recommended for 50 Ohm applica ons @ -65° to 85° and up to 12Ghz Hughes
4.3/10 connecters are low in weight, space saving and require only 5 Nm of torque
for op mum coupling. 4.3/10 connectors can be made available with screw, low
torque screw and push-pull plug coupling nuts, which all benefit from
interconnec vity to the 4.3/10 jack.
Ÿ 50 Ohm
Ÿ Space and weight saving
Ÿ Excellent electrical performance

Ÿ Interface matching
Ÿ Excellent high frequency proper es
Ÿ Tailored to your needs
Hughes super flexible 7/16 low PIM jumper cables are specially designed for GSM and CDMA
base sta ons where higher power handling is desired, manufactured to cri cal standards of
excellence and adop ng the best mechanical principles for radio frequency and reliability
performance each assembly undergoes two VSWR test processes during manufacture to
ensure outstanding PIM performance.
Hughes 43.10 Jumper cables are manufactured to the same exac ng standards as our 7/16
Jumpers cables but with the smaller IEC 61169-54.standard interface to support space
reduc on at the Remote Radio Unit (RRU) and Antennae head. The smaller coupling
mechanisms make Hughes 4.3/10 jumper cables ideal candidates for base sta ons where
space is at a premium , Distributed Antennae Systems (DAS) and small cell applica ons.
Based on Hughes Ultra Low PIM 'WaveWay' Connector series, FreeWay jumper cables create a
step-change in jumper lead efficiency. Conferred with all the benefits of the WaveWay series of
connectors and especially to reduce connec on based PIM the FreeWay series of jumper leads
are lightweight, corrosion free and provide a gas ght IP68 connec on with no taping. Uni-
structure signal transit paths benefit from isola on to the coupling mechanism and offer very
low resistance signal path with fewer distor ons and lower PIM than metal connectors.
Ÿ Light Weight
Ÿ Site configurable
Ÿ Super Low PIM
Freeway Jumper
Ÿ Taping free
Hughes N type jumper cables are factory manufactured using the same low PIM inductive
soldering and moulding techniques as our other Jumper products. They may therefore be
used in low PIM DAS environs and as an alternative to 43-10 Jumpers in cellular applications
where space reduction is the major consideration and specification permits.
Whatever connec on or cable type you choose Jumper Frequency op mising can improve your PIM by up to 5Db,
Hughes Electronics are the only Co. to offer a bespoke Frequency op mising service.

Directional Couplers
Direc onal couplers are passive devices used in the field of radio technology.
They couple a defined amount of the electromagne c power in a transmission
line and provide it to an ancillary port where it can be deployed in another circuit.
An essen al feature of direc onal couplers is that they only couple power flowing
in one direc on.

Diplexers separate or combine high frequency and low frequency signals. The
diplexer incorporates a low pass cut off frequency below which signals are routed
from the incoming port to the low pass port, and high pass cutoff frequency above
which signals are routed to the high pass port. Available in N Type or 7/16th
interfaces with Tri-metal pla ng in a range of frequency bands.
