At Radiall, Simplification is our Innovation..

NEX10™ XE combines NEX10™ double sealing with HEP2R plating in order to provide one of the most robust miniature Low PIM connectors on the market for outdoor applications. This IP68 ruggedized connector is designed to provide high performance even in the most extreme environments without a boot.

DOUBLE SEALING
NEX10™ XE features a double-sealed interface for Quick Lock and Screw plugs, which prevents particles (sand or other) from getting between the nut and jack and compromising the performance. This feature makes NEX10™ XE an IP68 rated connector and eliminates the need for weatherproof rubber boots.

HEP2R PLATING
To reach high-level standards such as ASTM B 117 (720 hrs salt spray) and ISO21207 Method B 5 cycles (equivalent to a product exposed to a corrosive atmosphere for 20 to 50 years), Radiall offers HEP2R plating on NEX10™. The new HEP2R qualification process makes this plating compliant to IEC 60950-22, one of the higher requirements for connectors and a standard applied to outdoor equipment.

With HEP2R plating available on NEX10™ connectors, customers can expect very high RF performance and exceptional mating endurance with lower intermodulation levels. Featuring characteristics similar to conventional bronze-plated connectors, NEX10™ HEP2R prevents galvanic cell corrosion when mated with existing products.

NEX10™ XE is fully compatible with NEX10™, but it must be paired with a NEX10™ XE plug and NEX10™ XE jack in order to provide extreme environmental performance. This extreme environment solution is available cap-plated with HEP2R. NEX10™ XE with HEP2R plating is allergy friendly, RoHS and REACH compliant.NEX10™ XE is fully compatible with NEX10™, but it must be paired with a NEX10™ XE plug and NEX10™ XE jack in order to provide extreme environmental performance.
