Bird 8710M

Dummy Load, Water Cooled 1kW DC-3500MHz N(m)

The 8710 Series are water-cooled RF loads able to handle up to 1000 watts of power up to 500 MHz and 500 watts up to 1000 MHz. The frequency range is limited not by the load, but by the specifications of the N-connectors. The RF power is converted to heat in the load resistor and directly dissipated by means of the unique internal water cooling system. The load is non-ferrous and may be located in and near MRI equipment or within the focusing coils.

• Broadband water-cooled load for long-term RF dissipation when heat must be efficiently transferred away from the area
• Available in 8710F or 8710M models, indicating male or female Type-N connectors
• Type-N connector limits 1000 W power rating to 500 MHz and below. Power derates to 500 W at 800-1000 MHz
• Uses standard, potable water for coolant
