Kathrein 86010017 RF Passives Radio Frequency Module

The Kathrein 86010017 is a 2-way RF power splitter covering the 800-2500MHz frequency range, rated to handle up to 100W of RF power across the ports. Splitters of this type are used in mobile network RF site infrastructure to divide a single antenna feed or transmitter output between two paths, or conversely to combine two receive paths into one, while maintaining impedance matching and minimising signal loss and inter-port isolation degradation. The broad 800-2500MHz coverage means a single Kathrein 86010017 unit can support signals across multiple cellular bands, including GSM900, DCS1800/GSM1800, UMTS and early LTE bands, without needing band-specific hardware, simplifying multi-band site deployments. Kathrein is a long-established German manufacturer of antenna and RF passive components, and splitters such as the 86010017 are used extensively in base station cabling and combining setups where multiple radios or sectors need to share antenna infrastructure.
