This results in the need for a connector that has been specially developed for radios and antennas with smaller footprints and offers excellent passive intermodulation, return loss and RF characteristics. The solution is a small, high-performance RF connector series. EDD® has been designed by IMS Connector Systems to meet the present and future requirements of Small Cells and 5G networks and antennas. The EDD® series is characterized by its robust design, compact size, with a maximum flange height of only 12.7 mm, and very low PIM-values.
In contrast to previous connector series the PIM-stable EDD® combines the compact size needed for radios and filters in Small Cells und Macro Cells, and Distributed-Antenna-Systems (DAS) with the robustness that is a requirement for connectors in harsh environment. The compact size of EDD® is 55 % smaller than the 4.3-10 and 68 % smaller than the 7/16 connector, nevertheless all indoor and outdoor RF connector specifications are met.
The EDD® series has bees developed primarily for applications that require high PIM stability with low space. These are among others
- Radios and filters in Small Cells
- Radios and filters in Macro Cells
- Distributed-Antenna-Systems (DAS)
- In-building antennas
- Higher-Order-MIMO antennas
- Antenna-connector solutions.
