ATN-3030-06 - N attenuator, 30 dB, 30 W, DC–6 GHz – High-Performance Power Series

N 30 dB Coaxial RF Power Attenuator, 30 W, DC–6 GHz – High-Performance Power Series

This N-type 30 dB coaxial RF power attenuator is engineered for demanding RF environments that require stable attenuation, efficient heat dissipation and excellent impedance matching. Operating from DC to 6 GHz with a continuous power rating of 30 W, it delivers reliable RF power handling for lab setups, telecom systems, industrial RF applications and wireless sub-6 GHz infrastructures.

Featuring a low VSWR of ≤ 1.15, this attenuator minimizes signal reflection and ensures consistent impedance matching across the full operating band. This makes it ideal for transmitter loading, power leveling, input protection and precise RF power control in professional test environments.

The finned aluminium heatsink provides efficient thermal dissipation under continuous RF load. Its rectangular block shape offers superior benchtop stability: unlike cylindrical power attenuators that tend to roll or slip when placed on a test bench, the flat-sided design stays firmly in position during measurements, simplifying cabling and improving repeatability in RF lab workflows.

Equipped with rugged N-type male–female connectors and high-quality internal resistive elements, this attenuator ensures long-term mechanical reliability. Each unit is individually tested across the entire DC–6 GHz band to guarantee predictable behaviour in professional RF applications. RoHS and REACH compliance makes it suitable for modern and regulation-compliant installations.
