What are 2.2-5 Connectors?

2.2-5 Connectors are a miniaturized version of 4.3-10 connectors, designed to meet the tight space conditions of small cells in mobile applications. These connectors have the form factor of a TNC connector with electrical performance similar to 4.3-10 connectors.

The 2.2-5 connectors were jointly introduced by 7 leading RF manufacturers - Developed by Telegärtner, Co-Developed and successfully field-approved by Kathrein and SPINNER, Supported by Molex, Amphenol, Commscope, JMA and Gigalane. 

Key Specifications of 2.2-5 Connectors:
