A Canadian Tier 1 operator was deploying their active DAS system where they encountered challenges with rack space for attenuators.  To solve this problem, they were looking for a compact-sized attenuator design that could fit as many units as possible per rack shelf.

Radiocomm's existing off-the-shelf attenuator design is already quite compact (6 units in a rackmount shelf); however, to meet the carrier requirement, the Radiocomm design team finalized a new ultra-compact design in under a week. The new design (ATD-PYXXZ) is 5mm higher than the old (AT9-PYXXZ) but has a much smaller width and depth dimension. The new design maintains the same heat dissipation performance which is a major challenge when designing compact-sized low PIM attentuators.

The new design fits up to ten (10) low-PIM attenuators and uses the same shelf space. The customer was extremely happy with the design and even more impressed with our fast turn-around time.
