50ohm Terminators Question

  • 1.  50ohm Terminators Question

    Posted Nov 19, 2021 07:04 PM

    Afternoon everyone, 

    I am looking to deploy 11 AP-518's for a customer. While we've done a number of outside AP deployments with internal antenna's. This is our first project using external antenna. In reading the details for the ANT-3x3-5712 5Ghz 11.5dBi antenna, I see that 50ohm terminator is required.

    Fine, however I seem to be google search challenged in finding a 50ohm RPSMA male terminator rated for 5Ghz (I have since found that some terminators are rated for up to 6Ghz). I can find 50ohm RPSMA  for 2.4Ghz easy enough. 


    Can someone post a link on where I can source the correct terminator (US source pls). 

    Here is a RPSMA 50ohm male, however I can't tell what the Ghz rating is. 

    Amphenol RF 132360RP

    This looks like exactly what I need, however I'd prefer to source it state side.

    Thanks.

    Brad, 

    Thanks! I don't know why I was alerted to Onno's response and not yours, but much appreciated!

    That Amphenol terminator should be fine. Most terminators support frequencies from DC to 50GHz, so any reputable 50 ohm RP-SMA terminator will do.
    Pasternack is another great source for stuff like this.

    Thanks Onno for the prompt reply. 

    I had check out Pasternack, but I left like I was going in circles there. 

    This one small item was holding things up. lol. 

    Cheers,
