Feeding four antennas from one source sounds simple until a fault on one branch drags the others down with it. A Wilkinson splitter is the engineered answer: it divides power 4 ways with real isolation between the outputs, so each branch stays independent. The SP6938-53A4-4.3 is RFI's second-generation wideband design, covering 698–3800 MHz — every Australian cellular band from 700 MHz through mid-band 5G — on low-PIM 4.3-10 female interfaces.
Product Features:
- 4-way Wilkinson topology — isolated outputs, not a passive tee that couples every fault to every branch.
- Full 698–3800 MHz span: 700, 850/900, 1800, 2100, 2300, 2600 and 3500 MHz in one component.
- Low-PIM construction — the requirement for any path a carrier will connect to.
- 4.3-10 female interfaces, the current DAS and carrier standard.
- Second-generation design; also available in other port counts across the series.
Application Areas:
- Distributing signal to multiple DAS antennas from one head end.
- Combining or splitting between sectors on shared cellular infrastructure.
- Multi-antenna in-building and tunnel coverage systems.
Selection & Installation Notes:
- Every port must see 50 Ω. Terminate any unused output with a matched load — an open port destroys the isolation you paid for.
- Pair with our low-PIM 4.3-10 jumpers to keep the whole path carrier-grade; a good splitter behind a cheap patch lead is wasted money.
- Splitting divides power: a 4-way split costs about 6 dB per branch before losses. Plan the link budget before choosing port count.
- Detailed electrical figures (power, insertion loss, isolation, PIM in dBc) are available from RFI on request — ask us if your specification requires them documented.
