Product Brief: Positive Stop™ Connectors
L4TDF-PS
Ease connector attachment issues and ensure excellent RF transmission line performance with
Positive Stop Connectors from Andrew.
Revolutionary Positive Stop Connectors for HELIAX corrugated coaxial cables require no special tools or
torque wrenches, eliminating both guess work and time consuming measurements.
Using standard wrenches and in less than one rotation, Positive Stop Connectors give the installer a
clear visual and mechanical verification of a correct fit, sealing out water and sealing in excellent
electrical performance.
The connectors' easy verification eliminates the need to control torque levels and provides consistent
attachment integrity and electrical performance.
