Description
The Microlab TK-21MN is a 10 W low PIM cable load designed for professional wireless and RF applications where extremely low passive intermodulation performance is required. Featuring an N Male connector, 50 Ohm impedance, and an operating frequency range of 698 to 2700 MHz, the TK-21MN is well suited for terminating unused RF ports during system testing and PIM measurement.
The TK-21MN is rated for 10 W average power and up to 5 kW peak power, with typical PIM performance of -175 dBc and specified performance of less than -160 dBc when tested with two 1900 MHz, 5 W tones at 25°C. It provides low VSWR, a compact passivated aluminum housing, IP64 environmental protection, and includes two mounting clips for installation.
