Description
500 W N-type RF Dummy Load – DC–3 GHz, 50 Ω
The CentronRF 500 W N-type dummy load (RF termination) is a 50-ohm coaxial load rated for 500 watts of average input power from DC–3 GHz, with VSWR ≤1.2. It turns your transmitter’s output into heat instead of radiating it, so you can test, tune and align equipment without going on air or risking damage to the final amplifier.
It is a good fit for high-power amplifier testing, broadcast transmitters and base-station power-amplifier burn-in. The threaded N-type connector is the standard on spectrum analysers, signal generators, base stations and antenna systems, and it stays reliable through repeated connections.

FAQ
What is an RF dummy load used for?
A dummy load replaces the antenna during testing. It presents a clean 50 Ω load to the transmitter and absorbs the power, so you can adjust and measure the radio without transmitting a signal.
Is a 500 W load right for my transmitter?
Choose a load rated at or above your transmitter’s maximum output power. This load is rated for 500 W average power from DC–3 GHz.
