RF Coaxial Connectors 1.6 / 5.6 Introduction The ITT Cannon range of 1.6/5.6 Connectors are suitable for use in 75 ohm communication systems. These connectors have become the recognised standard in telecommunication systems in many parts of the world. Designed to meet the requirements of DIN 47295, CECC 22240 and IEC 169-13, these connectors feature screw couplings to ensure mating integrity and snap coupling for ease of connection and disconnection (New Push-Pull coupling will be introduced in 1996). The range of parts shown in this publication includes plug and jack connectors for a variety of cables, together with PCB styles and U links. Other cable types and connector styles may be available on request.
