ATN-1050-06 - N attenuator, 10 dB, 50 W, DC–6 GHz – High-Power RF Series

N 10 dB Coaxial RF Power Attenuator, 50 W, DC–6 GHz – High-Power RF Series

This N-type 10 dB coaxial RF power attenuator is engineered for high-power RF environments requiring stable attenuation, efficient thermal management and excellent impedance matching. With a continuous power rating of 50 W and an operating band from DC to 6 GHz, it delivers reliable performance for laboratory test setups, telecom systems, industrial RF applications and wireless sub-6 GHz infrastructures.

Unlike most high-power attenuators, this model features a true bidirectional design, offering identical performance in both directions with no defined input or output side. This provides greater installation flexibility in field deployments and simplifies system integration, especially when reversible signal paths or rapid re-configuration are required.

The cylindrical finned aluminium heatsink ensures highly effective thermal dissipation under continuous RF load, maintaining performance stability even in demanding operating conditions. Combined with a VSWR of 1.25, the attenuator provides consistent impedance matching and reduced signal reflection across the full 6 GHz band.

Built with rugged N-type male–female connectors and high-quality internal resistive elements, this attenuator guarantees long-term mechanical reliability and repeatable RF behaviour. Each unit is individually tested across the DC–6 GHz operating range to ensure predictable performance in real-world RF systems. RoHS and REACH compliance makes it suitable for modern regulation-compliant installations.
