Description
JFW Industries 50HF-020 Coaxial Attenuator 20dB DC-18GHz 50 Ohm N-Type
The JFW Industries 50HF-020 is a fixed coaxial attenuator providing 20 dB of signal attenuation across a frequency range of DC to 18.0 GHz. Built in a compact in-line barrel form factor with N-type male-to-female connectors, it inserts directly into a coaxial signal path to reduce power levels without significant reflection or distortion. The 50-ohm characteristic impedance matches standard RF and microwave test system architectures.

Applications
Fixed coaxial attenuators like the JFW 50HF-020 are standard passive components in RF and microwave test setups, used to reduce signal levels at the input of a receiver, spectrum analyzer, or network analyzer to prevent overload and bring signals within a calibrated measurement range. The DC-to-18 GHz coverage makes this unit suitable for a wide range of microwave lab applications, including signal path leveling, isolation between stages, and calibration reference work. The N-type connector interface is a common standard in RF test and measurement instrumentation, telecommunications, and antenna systems from the bench-test lab to field deployment. JFW Industries, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been a specialist manufacturer of RF attenuators, switches, and related passive components since the 1980s, and their 50HF series in-line attenuators are well-regarded in the test and measurement community.
This JFW Industries 50HF-020 fixed coaxial attenuator has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The body and connectors show light wear consistent with normal lab use ā some minor scuffing on the knurled barrel and slight marking around the N-type connectors, as visible in the photos. The unit has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but it was pulled from a working RF lab environment where it was previously in use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
