Rojone and EziTrak are proud to once again support Team Tonka Toys in the 2013 Shitbox Rally, as they raise money for The Cancer Council.

This year’s rally, running from May 4 to May 10, 2013, will see the teams trekking through the centre of Australia starting from Adelaide, via Uluru, to Fremantle.

As a GPS Security and Tracking System, EziTrak® is an ideal sponsor of the Team Tonka Toys vehicle and will be used by the team to track their progress.

PRESS RELEASE

As the exclusive distributor of Radiall products, Rojone is proud to introduce the addition of the new BNC HD Connector.

The BNC HD connector’s technologically advanced design is available in a wide variety of colours, and its unique easy grip boot allows for high density integration without the use of a tool to plug or un-plug, making this high-definition BNC the best choice for all broadcast applications.

The new BNC HD connector features a two-part design that is quick and easy to assemble in the field using only a standard crimper, and the advanced True 75 ohms design features outstanding performance up to 6 GHz with exceptional return loss performance, and data rates up to 3 Gbps or higher while meeting or exceeding SMPTE 292M and 424M standards.

The robust mechanical properties make this connector ideal for rugged environments, and it is available for the most popular cables in the Broadcast market (Argosy, Belden, CAE, Draka and more). BNC HD is also available in Brass, R/A Plug and bulkhead versions.

Features and benefits:

• Intermateable with standard 50 and 75 ohm BNC products
• Typical VSWR 1.05 at 4 GHz (-32 dB return loss)
• Better mechanical performance, durability with 1,000 mating cycles guaranteed
• Field installable on most coaxial cables using hand-crimping tools
• Colour coded for easy signal identification
• Custom made cable assemblies available

Interface:

• True 75 ohm RF line, optimised electrical performance at 3 GHz up to 6 GHz, specially designed for HDTV signal transmission
• Composite Material: special design for faster connection
• Seamless: chemical bonding, designed to seal to cable
• Gold plating: 1,000 mating cycles

Application:

Radiall’s BNC 75 HD connector is specially designed for broadcast applications. The high performance and easy to use concept make this connector the best choice in your broadcast activity.

Rojone Partner Times Microwave Systems has announced two new products within their Times Protect™ line of Lightning & Surge Protectors.

LP-GPX-05-T Series

The LP-GPX-05-T high performance series is an exceptional DC pass design for protection of GPS receivers requiring up to 5Vdc power to be supplied on the center pin. While the RF path is DC blocked, the biased DC voltage protection circuit uses Solid State protection technology to provide unsurpassed surge performance.

The LP-GPX-05-T series offers outstanding Insertion Loss and Return Loss characteristics over the 1000-2000MHz band, making it suitable for protection of commercial and military GPS, as well as other applications in this band.

Unlike competitive protectors, the white bronze plated construction of the LP-GPX-05-T series eliminates potential galvanic corrosion issues and provides long life in hostile environments. The fully weatherised housing is sealed to IP65 allowing for outdoor as well as indoor installation.

LP-GPX-05-T Series:

• LP-GPX-05-TFF - TNC Female connectors on surge and protected sides – bidirectional
• LP-GPX-05-TFM - TNC Male connector on one side & TNC Female connector on the other side – bidirectional

LP-BTRW Series

The Times Protect™ LP-BTRW high performance surge arrestor series addresses applications in the 20MHz-1000MHz spectrum. Unique DC blocking technology employed in this design provides optimum isolation of the antenna port from the protected equipment port for maximum surge protection. LP-BTRW surge protectors have exceptional RF performance and are constructed from the highest quality materials for unsurpassed durability and longevity. These units meet and surpass all applicable industry standards. The LP-BTRW product family is available with N connector configurations and fully weatherised to the IP67 standard for outdoor use.

LP-BTRW Series:

• LP-BTRW-NFF - N Female connectors on surge and protected sides
• LP-BTRW-NMP - N Male connector on protected side with N Female connector on surge side
• LP-BTRW-NMS - N Male connector on surge side with N Female connector on protected side

The Times-Protect^® LP-GPX-05 high performance lightning protector series has been expanded with the availability of a TNC interface.  These exceptional DC pass designs protect GPS receivers requiring up to 5Vdc power to be supplied on the center pin for L1, L2 and L3 bands.

While the RF path is DC blocked, the biased DC voltage protection circuit uses state-of-the-art solid state protection technology to provide unsurpassed surge performance.

The bidirectional filter based LP-GPX-05 protector with either a type N, TNC or SMA interface exhibits excellent insertion loss and return loss characteristics from 1000 to 2000 MHz.

The white bronze plating on the LP-GPX-05 protector eliminates potential galvanic corrosion issues and provides long life in hostile environments. The fully weatherised housing is rated to IP65 allowing for outdoor installations.

Times-Protect^® GPX-05 surge arrestors available are:

• LP-GPX-05-SFF  (Bidirectional design, SMA Female/SMA Female)
• LP-GPX-05-SFM  (Bidirectional design, SMA Female/SMA Male)
• LP-GPX-05-NFF  (Bidirectional design, N Female/ N Female)
