MEIA_8 page_031615_Layout 1 3/16/15 2:02 PM Page 1 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.
