Non-Reflective Black Chrome Plated RF Connectors
Black Chrome Connectors
During tactical operations, defense personnel require absolute discretion to maintain their field position safely. Something as small as the reflection of a stainless steel connector on a manpack radio can compromise a soldier's position, and risk the integrity of a mission. SV Microwave can provide a specialized, RoHS-compliant, non-reflective black chrome plating capability to eliminate this critical optical risk. This finish absorbs ambient light to ensure maximum optical concealment on tactical platforms and soldier-worn equipment. While SV Microwave can apply this custom finish across any standard Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) interface, three standard configurations currently exist and can serve as a starting point for any of your needs:
- 2911-61008: SMA Male Cable Connector, Non-Reflective, for .085 Cable
- 2921-61689: SMA Female Bulkhead Cable Connector, Non-Reflective, for .085 Cable
- 2911-61009: SMA Male Dust Cap, Non-Reflective, Wire Rope
