The present disclosure is generally directed to a connector assembly that includes an increased outer diameter of the connector member relative to the equivalent G-type connector and an increased inner diameter of the receptable member relative to the equivalent G-type receptacle (also referred to as a seizure nut) to achieve higher current carrying capacity and target frequency rates of up to 3.0 Ghz, for example. In one preferred example, this results in a connector assembly consistent with the present disclosure having a connector member with an outer diameter of at least 10.70 mm, and more preferably 10.76±0.01 mm, rather than the 9.4 mm diameter of existing G-type connectors. Despite this increased diameter, a seizure assembly consistent with the present disclosure can achieve a functional impedance of 75 ohms to maintain nominal signal quality.
A radio frequency (RF) connector assembly for use in a housing having a cable television (CATV) module, the RF connector assembly comprising:
A cable television (CATV) amplifier, the CATV amplifier comprising:
