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.

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.
Product Features
•
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 excellent RF conductivity
GRS design compensates for
potential tolerance mismatches
between the cable and connector
GRS extension connectors
incorporate a one-piece
continuous pin, providing
excellent electrical continuity
