Rectangular Cable Assemblies

The 18-036-108 application field and working principle is a part of the rectangular cable assemblies family. Rectangular cable assemblies, also known as custom ribbon cable assemblies, are custom products that are designed and fabricated specifically to meet the requirements of an end user. The 18-036-108 application field and working principle is a type of rectangular cable assembly that provides power and signal applications for a distributed antenna system (DAS).

Design and Construction

The 18-036-108 includes one 38-pin male SCART connector for signal connections and one 9-pin power connector. Its design is specifically made to be used with standard robust 12-gauge (AWG) wires and the maximum current is 600mA. It is also designed to be resistant against common environmental conditions, such as oxidation, moisture, dust, and lightning.

The cable assembly consists of a rectangular shaped housing with two connectors on each end. Inside the housing, the corresponding receptacles are connected with a flexible yet strong umbilical cord. The cord is connected to each of the appropriate connectors and is wrapped around a high-temperature-resistant silicone sleeve which creates a flexible yet secure connection. All of the pins are then soldered together securely to create a stable connection.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 18-036-108 is mainly used for connecting two devices with access to an outside antenna system. The device has a 9-pin power connector for connecting to a power source and a 38-pin male SCART connector for connecting to the antenna system. The device works by transferring the signal from the antenna system to the 9-pin connector where it is then shared or transferred to the connected device and then to the antenna system.

The 18-036-108 is typically used for distributed antenna systems such as distributed computing applications, wireless local area networks, cellular base stations, remote measurement systems, and RFID systems. It is also used as a component for custom-made wireless communication devices, such as cellular phones, tablets, and industrial sensors.

Benefits

The 18-036-108 offers many advantages over other types of cable assemblies. Its flexibility makes it easy to install without any tools, the secure connection ensures reliable operation, and its design is low profile and lightweight. Additionally, the assembly has excellent strain relief capabilities, which makes it suitable for tight spaces and areas with frequent vibrations. This type of cable assembly is also highly durable and capable of operating in challenging environmental conditions.

Conclusion

The 18-036-108 application field and working principle is a type of rectangular cable assembly used for connecting two devices with access to an outside antenna system. It offers many advantages over other types of cable assemblies, such as flexibility, secure connections, strain relief capabilities, and its lightweight and low-profile design. With its excellent performance and wide range of operating conditions, the 18-036-108 is an ideal choice for connecting two devices in difficult environmental conditions.
