High-reliability blind-mate RF cable assembly designed for dense rack-mount systems, outdoor base stations, and automated test equipment (ATE). Features an MBX male right-angle connector with axial/radial misalignment tolerance on one end, and an IP67-sealed TNC female bulkhead jack on the other, ensuring environmental protection and signal integrity in harsh conditions. Built with low-loss 047 semi-flexible coaxial cable that holds its shape after bending, enabling precise internal routing in 5G NR, radar, satellite ground terminals, and industrial IoT enclosures. Factory-direct with full VSWR testing and custom length support.

● MBX Blind-Mate Technology: Allows ±1mm radial and ±5° angular misalignment during mating, protecting connectors from stress damage during rack insertion and simplifying assembly in high-density backplane applications.
● IP67 Environmental Sealing: TNC bulkhead jack includes integrated O-ring and gasket seal, preventing moisture, dust, and salt spray ingress for outdoor cabinet and marine deployments.
● 047 Semi-Flexible Cable Stability: Holds bent shape without spring-back, enabling clean, repeatable routing inside chassis while maintaining >90dB shielding effectiveness up to 18GHz.
● Dual Right-Angle Profile: Both connectors are 90° RA, minimizing panel protrusion and enabling flush mounting in space-constrained test fixtures and sealed enclosures.
● Gold-Plated Contacts: ≥0.5μm hard gold over nickel ensures <5mΩ contact resistance and >500 mating cycles for long-term test reliability.
● 100% Factory Tested: Every assembly undergoes continuity, VSWR sweep, insertion loss verification, and IP67 leak test. Batch reports and COC provided.

Q1: What is the maximum misalignment this MBX connector can tolerate?
A: ±1.0mm radial offset and ±5° angular deviation during blind mating. Exceeding these limits may cause contact damage. Always verify alignment pins/guides in your chassis design.
Q2: Is the entire assembly waterproof?
A: Only the TNC bulkhead end is IP67-rated when properly torqued to a sealed panel. The MBX connector is not environmentally sealed. For fully submerged applications, specify potted or overmolded variants.
Q3: Can 047 cable be re-bent multiple times?
A: 047 semi-flex is rated for limited re-forming (typically 5–10 bends at same location). For frequent flexing, upgrade to 086 semi-rigid or RG316 flexible coax.
Q4: What torque spec applies to the TNC bulkhead nut?
A: Hand-tighten plus ¼ turn, or 5 in-lbs (0.56 N·m) with calibrated wrench. Over-torquing compromises the O-ring seal.
