Connectors and Tools promote transmission line performance.April 23, 2007 -
While backwards compatible with aluminum and copper transmission line systems, EZfit-Series(TM) connectors and tools are engineered to fit smooth-wall and corrugated transmission line cables. Corrosion resistant products feature tight seal that prevents water ingress and subsequently reduces downtime/maintenance. Designed for all 50 ohm coaxial applications, connectors fit ½, 7/8, 1¼, and 1 5/8 in. size cables.

CommScope First to Introduce Complete New Series of Connectors and Tools for Wireless Applications
HICKORY, N.C., March 27 -- CommScope, Inc., (NYSE:CTV), a world leader in infrastructure solutions for communication networks, announces the introduction of the next generation of technologically advanced connectors and tools designed to improve transmission line performance. CommScope's new EZfit-Series(TM) connectors and tools are engineered to fit both smooth-wall and corrugated transmission line cables. They are designed to fit 1/2", 7/8", 1-1/4", and 1-5/8" size 50-ohm cables.
"CommScope continues to be an innovative leader in connector design by taking smooth-wall connector performance to the next level while assuring backward compatibility with both aluminum and copper transmission line systems," said Ted Hally, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Carrier Solutions. "Additionally, we believe we are the first to introduce a complete line of universal connectors. This technology brings a new and unique dimension to the industry by introducing a connector series that is designed for all 50-ohm coaxial cable applications."
Compared to our B-Series connectors, the new EZfit Series connectors and tools are lighter in weight, more corrosion resistant and more compact in design for easier handling during installation. The EZfit Series requires less torque to properly tighten the connector to the cable. Based on engineering specifications, CommScope expects its new connectors and tools to offer several key advantages including lower connector insertion loss and improved return loss for higher-performance cable systems.
Installers can reduce inventory and cut down on spare parts as a result of the cross compatibility and design flexibility the EZfit Series offers. As with all CommScope connectors, there is a tight seal to prevent water ingress and consequently reduce downtime and maintenance over the site's entire life cycle.
