Fixed RF attenuators – SMP, 2 W and DC to 26.5 GHz: BM10086 series | Bracke Manufacturing

The Bracke BM10086 series consists of fixed coaxial RF attenuators for 50-ohm signal paths with an SMP interface. All models cover a frequency range from DC to 26.5 GHz and have a specified power rating of 2 W.

The series is available with fixed attenuation values of 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30 dB. Attenuation accuracy ranges from ±0.6 to ±1.2 dB, depending on the selected model. A maximum VSWR of 1.45:1 is specified for every listed reference.

Advantages

• Frequency range up to 26.5 GHz: For RF and microwave signal paths from DC to 26.5 GHz.
• SMP interface: For compatible coaxial 50-ohm signal paths.
• Five fixed attenuation values: Choice of 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 dB.
• 2 W power rating: Common specified RF power across all models.
• Defined attenuation accuracy: Model-specific values from ±0.6 to ±1.2 dB.
• Consistent maximum VSWR: 1.45:1 for every listed version.
