Altronic 6715 – Omega-line Air Cooled Coaxial Load

Product Overview

The Altronic 6715 – Omega-line Air Cooled Coaxial Load is a high‑power RF dummy load from the 6700 Series, designed as a 50‑ohm termination for coaxial transmission line systems in demanding broadcast and RF test applications.[web:645][web:646] With forced‑air cooling and rugged construction, the Altronic 6715 air cooled coaxial load delivers stable RF characteristics across its full operating range.

Rated for 15 kW continuous duty, the Altronic 6715 Omega-line air cooled coaxial load provides a non‑reactive 50‑ohm load for high‑power FM, VHF and UHF transmitters, RF amplifiers and component testing.[web:648][web:651] The precision resistor assembly is mounted in a heavy‑duty enclosure and cooled by a direct‑drive blower to maintain low VSWR and safe operating temperatures during long‑term testing or standby service.[web:648][web:661] Like other Omegaline loads, the 6715 exhibits excellent and repeatable RF performance, protecting transmitters during tune‑up, proof‑of‑performance or emergency operation.[web:645][web:651]

The Altronic 6715 features 50‑ohm EIA flange input options to match common 1‑5/8‑inch or larger transmission lines and is supplied with interlock contacts and protective screens for operator safety.[web:645][web:659] The blower operates from standard AC mains, and the compact, oil‑free design allows the 6715 to be floor‑mounted or installed near transmitters where space is limited. For engineers who need a reliable high‑power RF dummy load with Omega‑line performance, the Altronic 6715 is a proven choice in transmitter rooms, RF laboratories and service facilities.[web:651][web:656]
