G2 2-Piece Connector Series
Corning Gilbert Introduces the next
generation in 2-piece connectors with
patented design features providing
clear performance advantages over
traditional 2-piece connectors.
Only the G2 Series gives installers a
full view of the cable’s center conduc-
tor insertion into the connector seizing
mechanism, eliminating traditional blind
entry. A unique center conductor seiz-
ing system prevents actuator lockup
and preserves connector reusability.
With the patented support sleeve locat-
ed in the back nut of the connector,
cable “pull back” is minimized. This
eliminates cable kinking typically asso-
ciated with 2-piece connector installa-
tion.
An industry first tri-start threading sys-
tem (patent pending) minimizes the
required back nut rotations when tight-
ening the connector.
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
BODY COMPONENTS:
ASTM 6262 aluminum alloy with gold chro-
mate conversion coating for excellent cor-
rosion resistance and dry lubricant to pre-
vent thread galling
RF COMPONENTS:
Contact pins and support sleeves are
brass with bright acid tin plating providing
excellent RF conductivity.
O-RINGS:
Ultraviolet and ozone resistant EPDM for
maximum durability.
