Description
The Andrew 143DZ is a brass splice connector designed to join two sections of Andrew HELIAX EW43 or EWP43 elliptical waveguide.
Unlike a conventional waveguide connector that transitions to a rectangular flange, the 143DZ provides a direct elliptical-waveguide-to-elliptical-waveguide connection.
It is used to extend existing waveguide runs, join sections during installation, or repair microwave transmission lines.
The splice operates between 4.4 and 5.0 GHz and supports pressurized waveguide systems. It can be installed using tab-flare or tool-flare attachment methods.
Typical applications include microwave backhaul systems, telecommunications towers, and point-to-point radio links.
