ANSI SCTE 176-2019 pdf free download – Specification for 75 ohm ‘MCX’ Connector, Male & Female Interface.
1.1.Executive Summary
This document outlines the mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements for the 75 ohm MCXconnector interface.
1.2. Scope
The purpose of this document is to specify requirements for the male/female interface of a 75 ohm, 3 GHzrated connector series generically known as MCX. This is an indoor connector with applications in
controlled environment headends and hubsites.
All requirements of this document are measured after installation per manufacturer’s instructions of thecable into the connector.
This document will address only the interface, not the connector body or the cable requirements.Mechanical, electrical and environmental performance is defined to ensure a reliable connection forpermanent installations, as well as temporary adapters and calibration standards.
1.3. Benefits
This specification is necessary to provide manufacturers and users of this product a basic set of standarddimensional and performance requirements from which to gauge design performance.
It s useful for cable and equipment manufacturers to ensure proper mating with varied connector
manufactured designs. This specification provides confidence to end users that designs which meet thescminimum criteria will perform properly in their systems.
1.4. Intended Audience
This document is intended for manufacturers and end users of this product, and products to which thisconnector type is intended to be used.
1.5. Areas for Further Investigation or to be Added in Future Versions. None
