Coaxial Adapter ShiverPeaks 82030-M Full Metal CE, male-to-female coax connector

The ShiverPeaks 82030-M Full Metal CE coaxial adapter is a male-to-female metal-bodied connector designed for joining compatible coaxial cables and devices. It delivers a compact, robust mechanical interface for signal routing, testing, and temporary or permanent connections where a full-metal housing and CE conformity are required. The adapter is suitable for radio frequency (RF) equipment, laboratory test setups and general-purpose coaxial cabling tasks.

Advantages

The full-metal construction provides mechanical strength and improved shielding compared with plastic alternatives, helping to reduce electromagnetic interference. The male-to-female configuration enables straightforward coupling between coaxial plugs and sockets without additional tooling. Its compact form factor keeps cable runs tidy and makes it easy to integrate into tight rack or bench spaces. The CE marking indicates conformity with applicable European safety and EMC requirements for this class of passive connector.

Suitable for

• Joining RF coaxial cables in laboratory or workshop environments
• Connecting radio equipment and antennas for testing or temporary setups
• Extending or adapting coax leads for measurement and signal routing
• General-purpose coaxial interconnections in installations requiring metal housings

Key specifications

• Connector type: male-to-female coaxial adapter
• Housing material: full metal construction for mechanical durability and shielding
• Intended signal range: radio frequency / RF applications
• Form factor: compact inline adapter suitable for tight spaces
• Compliance: CE marked for applicable safety and EMC standards

How to use

Ensure both mating connectors and cables are compatible in size and type before connecting. Align the male and female ends, then push and secure the connection until it is fully engaged; if the adapter uses a threaded coupling, tighten by hand and use light torque—do not overtighten. Use the adapter inline between two coaxial cable ends or between a cable and instrument port to establish a reliable signal path. Inspect connections for proper seating and absent visible damage prior to powering RF equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the adapter with compatible coaxial cable types and avoid exposing the connector to corrosive environments or excessive mechanical stress. Periodically inspect the metal housing and mating surfaces for wear or contamination and clean contacts with appropriate, non-abrasive cleaners if necessary.
