Glossary

Current refers to the amount of electricity that flows through a circuit. The unit of current is A (ampere).

This is the maximum current value as a guaranteed performance criterion of the coaxial connector.

Voltage is the pressure required to make current (electricity) flow. The unit of voltage is V (volt).

This is the maximum voltage guaranteed as a performance criterion of the coaxial connector.

This indicates the maximum voltage that can be applied to the coaxial connector without causing dielectric breakdown.

There are two types of electricity: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
Alternating current (AC) reverses plus and minus with a constant period, and both the size and direction of voltage change.
AC is advantageous for long-distance power transmission, as power loss is low and there is no need to consider plus and minus orientation.

A radio wave is alternating current energy that is emitted into the air from an antenna or other object and travels through space.
The use of radio waves is regulated by law by assigning primary uses to each frequency band, in order to prevent confusion in communications and depletion of the limited radio spectrum resources.

Frequency refers to how many times the cycle of alternating current repeats per second. It is also called oscillation rate.

Hertz (Hz) is the unit of frequency.
kHz (kilohertz) is 1,000 Hz, MHz (megahertz) is 1,000 kHz, and GHz (gigahertz) is 1,000 MHz.

A frequency band is a range of radio frequencies.
It is classified into very low frequency (VLF), low frequency (LF), medium frequency (MF), high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), ultra high frequency (UHF), centimeter wave, millimeter wave, etc., with main applications assigned to each range.
For example, in mobile phones, the maximum bandwidth for 4G (fourth-generation mobile communication systems) is 20 MHz.
For 5G, the band is up to 100 MHz at 3.7 GHz and 4.5 GHz, and up to 400 MHz at 28 GHz (‘millimeter wave’).
The broader the bandwidth, the more signals can be transmitted at once, enabling high-speed, large-capacity data transfer.

Microwaves are a type of radio wave, also known as high-frequency waves.
“Micro” refers to the short wavelength range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz under frequency-based classifications, and their transmission is generally conducted using coaxial cables.
Microwaves are used not only for communications, but also for radio astronomy with radio telescopes, radar movement monitoring systems, and positioning systems such as GPS in car navigation.

Many coaxial connector products in the industry cover frequency bands up to 18 GHz, but recently, products covering even higher frequencies have entered the market.
(For information on high-frequency measurement cables, please refer here.)

Resistance is what obstructs the flow of current.
The function that interferes with current flow in an electric circuit is called resistance, and electrical resistance is simply called resistance.
Resistance is made for the purpose of regulating the flow of current.

This indicates how easily current flows between the inner conductor (center contact) and outer conductor (connector body) when a coaxial connector is mated.
Generally, lower resistance values are better.

This indicates the degree of difficulty for current to flow between the inner conductor (center contact) and the outer conductor (connector body) of a coaxial connector when mated.
In general, the higher the resistance value, the better the insulation property.

Impedance is the ratio of voltage to current in an AC circuit.
In a DC circuit, this ratio refers to resistance, so impedance can be thought of as the resistance in an AC circuit (i.e., difficulty of current flow).

For high-frequency coaxial cables and connectors, the optimal ratio is required for each use, and typical values are 50 Ω and 75 Ω.
Bringing the impedance characteristics into alignment is called ‘impedance matching.’ If not matched, it is called ‘impedance mismatch,’ and the device cannot be used in high frequency bands.

50 Ω is mainly used for power transmission in wireless equipment, while 75 Ω is used for transmitting video and audio signals in television receivers.

Voltage standing wave ratio (V.S.W.R.) is a value that measures how efficiently RF (radio frequency) power is transmitted from a power source to a load through a transmission line. The ideal VSWR value is 1.

Return loss and reflection coefficient can be calculated from VSWR.
Reflection loss (return loss) provides the same essential information as VSWR, just expressed differently.

Attenuation refers to the loss of signal amplitude as it passes through a medium.
For coaxial cables, the longer the cable, the greater the attenuation, and likewise, the higher the frequency, the greater the attenuation.
To suppress attenuation, it is necessary to use high-performance cables with low attenuation or select thicker cables as needed.
The unit to express attenuation is dB (decibel).

Return loss is the ratio of the reflected wave to the input signal, expressed in dB. It is also called reflection loss.
A more negative value (higher absolute value) indicates higher performance (lower reflection). Stabilizing the characteristic impedance is key to improving performance.

VSWR is another way of expressing return loss, and the essential meaning is the same.

In high-frequency signals, the attenuation (decrease) of signal as it passes through the transmission path is called insertion loss.
Defined as the ratio of output signal to input signal, usually expressed in dB.
For components such as connectors with short connection distances, stabilizing the characteristic impedance is important to reduce insertion loss.

The decibel (dB) is a unit used to express the level of various physical quantities such as voltage, power, or sound pressure.
For coaxial connector specifications, it is used to describe the value of ‘insertion loss’.

Coaxial connector is a component used to connect a coaxial cable to a device (electrical equipment).

One coaxial cable can transmit 1080p HD video. For 4K, four cables are required; for 8K, sixteen cables are needed.

A standard four times faster than 3G-SDI.
It can transmit 4K through a single cable and 8K through eight cables.
Higher-quality connectors are required for 12G-SDI.

CoaXPress is an interface standard developed by companies such as Adimec and EqcoLogic, for high-speed, long-distance transmission of large amounts of data.
In Japan, it was released in December 2010 by the Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA).

Only products that meet CoaXPress standards and are certified by JIIA may be marketed as "CoaXPress-compatible coaxial cable assemblies."
Our products are not certified as such, so we cannot claim compliance; however, we may be able to propose equivalent products, so please consult us.

5G (Fifth Generation Mobile Communications System) is a communications system that has further evolved from PREMIUM 4G, providing not only higher speed and capacity, but also low latency and massive connectivity.

Places and equipment that relay calls and data between user devices (like smartphones) and telecommunication networks (switches).
They range from towers in suburban/rural areas to antennas on rooftops in urban areas, widely deployed.

A graphical tool used for impedance matching in high-frequency circuits.
Many high-frequency circuits are designed with characteristic impedances of 50Ω or 75Ω, and the Smith Chart is used to verify this.

A board made of insulating material with conductive wiring on or inside it, on which electronic components are soldered to create an electrical circuit.
Also known as printed circuit boards (PCB).

Our lineup includes PCB-mountable products such as SMA, SMB, MCX, MMCX, and H.BNC connectors.
