Altronic Research 6401 1 kW Air-Cooled RF Dummy Load provides a dependable 50-ohm termination for transmitter testing, adjustment and alignment. Rated for 1 kW continuous duty from DC to 240 MHz, it lets engineers operate compatible RF equipment into a load rather than an antenna. Its static-air-cooled design requires no fan, making the 6401 a practical option where a compact, straightforward test load is needed.
The Altronic Research 6401 has a specified maximum VSWR of 1.15:1 across its rated frequency range. Stable load characteristics help provide consistent conditions when checking a transmitter or RF component. The unit is suited to broadcast facilities, transmitter workshops and other 50-ohm coaxial installations that need to dissipate RF power during setup or maintenance.
The 6401 is the static-air-cooled 1 kW model in Altronic Research’s 6400 Series. Its resistor-load construction provides continuous-duty power handling without a powered cooling fan. Allow adequate ventilation around the unit during operation and follow the manufacturer’s installation and safety instructions when connecting or disconnecting RF equipment.
Altronic Research lists N-female, 7/8-inch EIA and 1-5/8-inch EIA input connections, with other options available. Select the connector version that matches the transmission system before ordering; the orderable factory part number may differ by connector.
