The SPINNER Cluster Connector:A Housing That Grows with Your Requirements

Antennas and base stations for mobile communications are shrinking and new transmission technologies are constantly appearing. As a result of these trends, connections of many different kinds are already needed, including coaxial, fiber-optic, DC, AISG etc. To help get all this under control, SPINNER has developed a new concept that bundles connectors in an array: the SPINNER Cluster Connector, which accepts connections of virtually any type to facilitate the use of widely differing technologies on the same antenna.

From the Idea to the Serial Production

Interview with SPINNER Product Manager Reiner Berchtold

This article explains the potential of this new approach for reducing risks for your infrastructure while increasing its efficiency. The Cluster Connector is now almost ready for mass production, having already undergone a whole evolution since we first came up with the idea back in 2014. In the following interview, Reiner Berchtold―one of our top experts―tells the story of how the first prototype took shape.
