R2CT connection kit
Radiall's R2CT connection kit provides a waterproof, sealed connection for fibre-to-the-antenna, remote radio head equipment and similar outdoor applications where a protected interface is needed.
The field-installable kit provides low-cost sealing at the transceiver-to-cable interface and ensures robust mechanical and environmental performance.
The kit is designed for optical systems using SFP transceivers and duplex LC-terminated fibre-optic cable.
The kit can be reused, allowing cables and transceivers to be changed in the field, including front-panel swapping of transceivers.
The kits can also be assembled over existing cables.
Sealing levels are IP65, with IP67 optionally available, with a durability of 100 mating cycles minimum and a temperature range from -40 to 85C.
The mated connection has a retention force of 200N (45lb).
The kit uses a receptacle attached to the equipment panel and a plug assembly over the cable.
The plug and receptacle use a double bayonet locking system to allow a tool-less, hand-tightened connection.
The plug assembly includes a protection cap that can be used for pulling cable.
The R2CT connection kit can easily be used with other connectors and interfaces, such as RJ-45 or USB connections.
