Compel Electronics, a designer and manufacturer of interconnection systems and cable assemblies, has developed a new series of impedance adapters: baluns, which allow systems with different impedance levels to be connected.
As is well known, the best method for transmitting a signal is to transport it using means with uniform impedance: any variation or discontinuity leads to reflections and losses in the signal. In modern equipment the need often arises to connect systems with a 75 Ω output (typical in the use of coaxial cables) to systems with a 120 Ω output (typical when using twisted pairs, which have been introduced because a large number of connections with cables of reduced dimensions is needed). It becomes necessary, therefore, to use a device capable of connecting the two systems in such a way that each uses its own impedance, avoiding substantial signal losses.
The baluns manufactured by Compel meet all these requirements and ensure good matching between the two systems with different impedance levels. In the 75 Ω part, the baluns are equipped with 1,0/2,3, 1,6/5,6 or BNC male or female connectors. In the 120 Ω part, the cables can be connected using the wire-wrap or IDC technique. Other versions can be produced on request.
