CommScope SFX-ANF (2-Pack) Type N Female RF Connector 50 Ohm 6GHz

The Andrew CommScope SFX-ANF is a Type N female RF connector engineered specifically for termination on 1/2-inch SFX-500 coaxial cable. With a matched 50-ohm impedance on both connector and cable interfaces, it supports the full DC-to-6000 MHz frequency range demanded by modern cellular, distributed antenna system, and broadband RF infrastructure deployments. Its 110 dB shielding effectiveness, sub-milliohm contact resistance values, and third-order IMD performance of -115 dBc at 1800 MHz make it well suited for high-density, interference-sensitive installations where passive intermodulation is a critical concern. An average power rating of 600 W at 900 MHz and a 10 kW peak power ceiling accommodate high-power transmitter and amplifier outputs without thermal or dielectric stress. Each purchase includes two connectors.

Key features & benefits

• Type N Female Interface — Industry-standard Type N female connector geometry ensures broad compatibility with RF infrastructure hardware across cellular, DAS, and broadband wireless applications.
• DC to 6000 MHz Operating Range — Supports the full spectrum from DC through 6 GHz, covering legacy cellular bands through current and emerging mid-band 5G frequency allocations in a single connector design.
• Low Passive Intermodulation — Third-order IMD of -115 dBm typical at 1800 MHz, measured with two +43 dBm carriers, delivers the low-PIM performance required in co-located multi-carrier base station and DAS environments.
• High Average and Peak Power Ratings — Rated at 600 W average power at 900 MHz and 10 kW peak power maximum, the connector handles demanding high-power transmitter feeds without risk of breakdown or derating.
• 110 dB Shielding Effectiveness — Exceptional shielding integrity minimizes signal leakage and ingress, preserving system noise floor and regulatory compliance in congested RF environments.
• Ultra-Low Contact Resistance — Outer contact resistance maximum of 0.25 mOhm and inner contact resistance maximum of 1.00 mOhm minimize insertion loss contribution and resistive heating under continuous load.
• High Insulation and Voltage Withstand — Insulation resistance minimum of 5000 MOhm, RF operating voltage maximum of 707 Vrms, and a DC test voltage rating of 2000 V ensure reliable dielectric integrity in high-voltage RF feed applications.
• Designed for 1/2-Inch SFX-500 Cable — Precision-matched mechanical interface for 1/2-inch SFX-500 cable geometry ensures consistent electrical contact, correct center-conductor pin engagement, and long-term mechanical retention.
• Two-Piece Package — Sold in a quantity of two connectors per package, supporting field termination of both ends of a cable run or stocking for maintenance and repair inventory.
