IP67 RF cable assemblies with isolated bulkhead interfaces

October 29, 2026

Combining environmental sealing with compact internal routing for 50Ω RF systems up to 6GHz, the SMA, RP-SMA and TNC panel connections from GCT feature isolated bulkhead options.

Environmental sealing becomes harder when external antennas, internal radio modules, and panel cut-outs meet in one compact enclosure. The IP67 RF cable assemblies route radio frequency (RF) signals through an enclosure wall while protecting the external connector interface. Isolated bulkhead options include SMA, RP-SMA, and TNC.

 

The isolated bulkhead format electrically separates the RF interface from the panel or enclosure. In multi-channel systems, this can help reduce interaction between adjacent signal paths and prevent the enclosure from becoming part of the RF connection. Internal connector options include MMCX plugs and jacks, I-PEX MHF1 plugs, I-PEX MHF4 plugs, and SMA straight and right-angle plugs, supporting connection to wireless modules and PCB-mounted radio hardware.

 

Mated and unmated IP67 protection helps during installation, maintenance, and field service. The connector interface remains protected when an external cable is temporarily disconnected, reducing the need for secondary sealing methods.

 

The assemblies are designed for 50Ω RF systems, with frequency ratings up to 6GHz for wireless, telemetry, monitoring, and communications equipment requiring both RF performance and environmental protection.

 

Compatible protective caps are available where the external interface may remain exposed between mating cycles. GCT also supports standard and custom configurations through its RF cable assembly range.
