High-power RF load in a small footprint

Water-Cooled
5 kW RF Load

The 8726 RF Load is a compact, water-cooled termination built for high-power transmitter and transmission line systems. Its hollow resistive film element dissipates up to 5 kW directly into the cooling water, reducing ambient heat and enabling use in tight, thermally sensitive environments.

With broadband, low-VSWR performance from DC to 2 GHz and flexible mounting options, the 8726 is ideal for continuous, non-radiating RF testing where thermal efficiency and space savings are critical.
