MATCHMASTER Terminator KS Female 75ohm : 18MM-T3

Description

High-Performance Signal Termination for Clean, Stable Networks

The MATCHMASTER 18MM-T3 75 Ohm female terminator is designed to deliver reliable RF signal termination in CATV and broadband network systems. Built for professional installations, it ensures clean signal flow by properly terminating unused ports and end-of-line connections, helping reduce signal reflection, noise, and interference across the network.

With a wide operating bandwidth from DC up to 3GHz and low insertion loss of less than 0.2dB at 1GHz, this terminator supports stable performance in high-demand environments. It’s suitable for 5MHz to 1300MHz applications, making it a dependable choice for modern RF distribution systems where signal integrity matters on every job.

Built for Reliability, Compliance, and Harsh Install Conditions

Engineered for trade environments, this 75Ω capacitive female terminator is rated for 90V AC continuous operation at 60Hz and includes a 1.0kV universal female interface for 5/8-24 entry ports. It also blocks 60Hz AC while effectively terminating RF signals, helping protect system performance and maintain compliance in AC-powered network lines.

The integrated O-ring provides a secure, waterproof seal—ideal for outdoor CATV taps and splitter installations exposed to moisture and environmental conditions. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, it’s built to perform reliably across Australian site conditions, from residential builds to large-scale infrastructure projects.

Designed to meet SCTE IPS SP 501 interface standards, this terminator supports consistent, compliant installations trusted by licensed electricians and contractors.

Designed for Fast Installation and Professional Trade Use

The MATCHMASTER 18MM-T3 is purpose-built for efficient end-of-line and unused port termination in CATV systems, helping electricians and contractors maintain clean signal pathways and reduce troubleshooting time on-site. By preventing signal reflections and minimizing interference, it helps keep systems stable and performing as intended.

Supplied in a practical trade pack (25 pieces per bag), it’s ideal for contractors managing multiple installs, maintenance work, or large-scale project rollouts. Whether you’re working on residential developments, commercial fit-outs, or facilities maintenance, this terminator supports faster, cleaner, and more reliable installations—helping keep projects on schedule.
