Kathrein EMK 64 IEC Compression Connector (21210031)

With shielding effectiveness exceeding 100 dB and return loss better than 20 dB across 5–2400 MHz, this IEC male compression connector ensures clean, low-loss signal transfer for DVB-T, DVB-C, satellite, and broadband cable installations.

Overview

The Kathrein EMK 64 is a precision IEC compression connector engineered for 75-ohm coaxial cable. Its nickel-plated brass body and compression termination provide a secure, weather-resistant connection that maintains signal integrity in demanding RF environments.

What stands out

• Exceptional shielding: >100 dB from 30–1000 MHz prevents ingress and egress of interference.
• Low insertion loss: <0.1 dB attenuation keeps signal strength intact.
• Wide frequency coverage: 5–2400 MHz supports terrestrial, cable, and satellite bands.
• Compression design: requires a compression tool for a reliable, permanent termination.
• Compatible with cables having 6.4 mm outer diameter and inner conductor 0.5–1.1 mm.
