RF Connectors

In applications where signal integrity is paramount, the reliability of your Radio Frequency (RF) connector is non-negotiable. LEMO designs and manufactures high-performance coaxial, triaxial, and mixed-contact connectors engineered for precision and durability. We provide robust solutions that ensure clear and stable signal transmission in the most demanding operational environments, from medical diagnostics and broadcasting applications to military communications.

LEMO’s Trusted RF Connector Solutions

For decades, engineers have relied on LEMO for connectivity solutions that deliver uncompromising performance. Rooted in Swiss engineering excellence, our RF connectors are designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-tech industries. Ensuring optimal signal integrity is essential for the accuracy and reliability of your equipment. LEMO’s RF solutions are tailored for high-frequency applications, offering consistent impedance and minimal signal loss across three technologies: coaxial connectors, RF twisted pair (Ethernet, USB, among others) connectors, and fibre optic connectors. 
 

Coaxial Connectors: 
High-Frequency Performance and Signal Integrity
 

Coaxial connectors offer a cost-effective and dependable solution for linking components within local area networks. In radio technology, impedance matching is critical. LEMO’s coaxial RF connectors are available in standard 50Ω and 75Ω versions, and feature: 

  • Controlled Impedance: Precise 50Ω and 75Ω options ensure optimal matching between cable and equipment, reducing signal reflection and attenuation.
  • Superior Shielding: Advanced shielding protects signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI), maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio in complex electronic environments.
  • Low Attenuation: Engineered to minimize insertion loss, enabling efficient power transmission from cable to device—whether it's an antenna or a precision measuring instrument.
  • Wide Bandwidth: Supports broad frequency ranges for high-speed data and signal transmission without degradation. 
     

Ethernet – USB  Connectors:
Rugged High-Speed Connectivity for Evolving Network Demands
 

As Ethernet and USB technology evolves to meet growing demands for speed, reliability, and security, it has become the standard for wired connectivity across industries—from IT and telecom to transportation and defense. LEMO offers one of the most extensive ranges of high-speed Ethernet - USB connectors, supporting data rates up to 10 Gb/s, including robust USB 3.2 and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)  solutions.  Designed for harsh environments, these connectors deliver reliable performance under vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures. SPE enables faster, lighter, and more cost-effective installations, making LEMO Ethernet connectors ideal for next-generation RF and network applications where dependable connectivity is key.  



Fibre Optic Connectors:
Ultra-Fast Data Transmission with Unmatched Signal Purity
 

Fibre optic connectors transmit data as pulses of light through strands of glass or plastic, offering significantly higher speed and bandwidth than traditional copper solutions. Unlike coaxial or twisted pair cables, fibre is immune to electromagnetic interference and can carry data over long distances with minimal loss. This makes it the preferred solution for applications requiring high data rates, exceptional reliability, and flawless signal integrity—from telecommunications to medical and research environments. 

RF Connectors for Medical,
Defence and Broadcasting Applications

LEMO connectors are trusted in critical sectors where performance directly impacts outcomes. In the medical field, our RF solutions are used in diagnostic imaging and surgical equipment where signal clarity is vital. For defence and security applications, our connectors ensure reliable communication links for antennas, tactical radios, and surveillance systems, providing steadfast performance when it matters most.

Key Factors to consider

Choosing the correct RF connector is essential for system performance. To ensure optimal selection, you should consider the following key factors:

  • Mechanical Requirements: What are the constraints regarding size, weight, and the required coupling mechanism?
  • Environmental Conditions: What temperatures, vibration levels, and potential exposure to moisture will the connector face?
  • System Impedance: Does your system call for single-ended impedance (50, 75 Ohms) or differential impedance, (90, 100 Ohms)?
  • Operating Frequency: What is the maximum frequency the connector will need to handle?
  • Electrical Performance: What are your specific requirements for attenuation, return loss, and power handling?
  • Cable Compatibility: What is the type and diameter of the cable you are using?
     

By carefully evaluating these parameters, you can identify the LEMO RF connector that provides the ideal balance of performance, durability, and ease of installation for your project.
