MEIA Series
MEIA™ Series
Cable Assemblies
and Connectors
• Threaded coupling version
of EIA interface
• kW power handling capability
equivalent to EIA, greater than
7-16 and LC interfaces
• 30% smaller, 40% lighter than
similar EIA connector
• Easy to install vs mechanical flange
and bolt attachment
Next Generation RF Power Transmission
TRU Corporation offers the latest innovation in high power connector design
with the MEIA™ series interface. The MEIA™ interface provides equivalent
kW power handling compared to similar EIA connector line sizes but provides
a 30% smaller and 40% lighter form factor with a high efficiency, threaded
coupling mechanism. This threaded coupling eliminates issues inherently
found in mechanically aligning and fastening a flanged EIA interface with
individual bolts.
The MEIA™ series is available with our flexible TRU-560 and TRU-500 cables
to create an unmatched combination of high power and flexibility to suit
your challenging applications. MEIA™ series, high power panel mount receptacles
can be customized to the optimal launch geometry for your equipment to
ensure performance and safety. MEIA™ to EIA adapters are available to allow
transformation of your existing EIA connections to the more efficient MEIA™
interface coupling.
TRU Corporation’s long heritage in high power design has made us a premier
supplier in high power markets including critical safety applications in the
industrial equipment segment. Our experienced technical staff is available
to personally answer all your technical questions.

Comparison of MEIA-1625 to a comparable EIA 1-5/8 connector.
MEIA™ is more than 30% smaller and 40% lighter, with a more
efficient threaded coupling interface. MEIA™ line sizes are the
same as EIA line sizes and can handle equivalent power.

Find your cable assembly solution
everywhere you are
SIMPLE NAVIGATION
With the new TRU online
Cable Configurator
you can build the right
cable assembly for your
specific requirements.
The Cable Configurator
takes you through a series
of filtered fields where
you specify your Primary
Application, Length
and Frequency.
Choose either TRU Standard
specs or specify your own
electrical, mechanical or
environmental specs.
From there you specify connector
and cable types.
ADAPTS FOR USE ON LAPTOPS AND MOBILE DEVICES
It’s an easy to follow, prompted process
that results in a completed review from
which you can Request Assistance
from an applications engineer or
Request a Quote.
