Switch/Rotary Variable Attenuator

Rotary Variable Attenuator(VAB&VAE Series)

Patent product

China Patent No. : CN 2008 1 0144258
USA Patent No. : US 8,476,544 B2
Japan Patent No. : 2011-524168
Taiwan Patent No. : I 393347


Features
● Input power: 2W or 5W
● Available in continuous and step adjusting
● 5W can satisfy the high power need of telecom operators
● Wide frequency range: DC ~ 3GHz
● Low VSWR, Low ion loss
● Size and format is much similar and customers who are used to traditional rotary variable attenuator (Single Dial & Dual Concentric Series) can directly use Yantel parts without changes of their equipment
● Sealed structure moisture-proof & damp-proof, can be work outdoors in harsh condition
● Easy to operate, adjustment results visually readable
● Step series has locking devices within each attenuation, shockproof capability
● Can reach over 10000 times adjustment
● Soon delivery,mass production can be arranged immediately
● Competive prices, 40%-50% lower than equivalents, good for tight budget projects
● Widely applied in the DAS Tray,DAS Interface Panels,DAS System,POI System,Small Repeater,Active/Passive Repeater etc
