Introduction to Micro-Miniature Co-Axial Adapter
Co-axial adapters are used to change the connector type of any two already-terminated cable. They are used to join any two co-axial connectors that are incompatible. In case of incompatibility of one or both connectors with RFID reader, coaxial adapter make them compatible. When an application is in a testing phase, several antennas may be purchased for experimentation. Instead of having several cables with different connectors, one cable and adapter can be used to save time and money.
Micro-miniature Co-axial (MMCX) adapter provides an interface between different radio frequency components that are to be connected. MMCX adapters are useful in connecting cables & equipment and offer compact solutions to space critical radio frequency applications. MMCX adapters are light weight & have high density as compared to other adapters in the business and they comply with European QECC 22000 specifications.
