GRS-500-SP-MC2-T - Corning Gilbert, Inc.

The industry leading GRS 3-piece

trunk and distribution connector series

is designed for optimal performance

in high bandwidth, two-way and

digital communication systems.

The GRS Series provides independent

seizing of the cable's center and outer

conductors during the installation process,

guaranteeing proper cable retention.

Uniquely, the GRS design compensates

for potential tolerance mismatches

between the cable and connector. The

connector configuration allows a full

view of the center conductor entering

the center conductor seizing mechanism,

eliminating the "blind entry" associated with

traditional 2 piece connector installation.

Cable "pullback" is minimized, preventing

cable deformation. GRS extension

connectors, used extensively in system

upgrades, incorporate a one-piece

continuous pin, providing excellent

long-term performance.

ProductFeatures

• Support sleeve located in main

nut assembly minimizes pull back

required to insert cable

into connector

• Independent seizure of center

and outer conductors of provides

assurance of proper retention

to cable

• Visible entry of center conductor into

seizing mechanism (no blind entry)

• Unique collet closing mechanism

preserves reusability

• Domed insulator prevents possibility

of moisture collecting

• Brass pins with bright acid tin

plating for excellentRF conductivity

• GRS design compensates for

potential tolerance mismatches

between the cable and connector

• GRS extension connectors

incorporate a one-piece

continuous pin, providing

excellentelectrical continuity

Materials and Construction

of Connector Components:

ASTM 6262 aluminum

alloy with gold chromate

conversion coating for

excellent corrosion resistance

and a dry film lubricant to

prevent thread galling.

Contact pins and support

sleeves are brass with bright

acid tin plating providing

excellent RF conductivity.

O-rings are ultraviolet and

ozone resistant EPDM for

maximum durability.
