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.
Delivers broadband, stable termination with minimal reflection.
Ideal for enclosed or thermally constrained test environments.
Mounts easily in any orientation with just 1 GPM of potable water.
Efficient 5 kW termination built for flexible installation and continuous operation
For over 80 years, RF professionals have trusted Bird loads to deliver unmatched stability, low VSWR, and rugged reliability—whether on the bench or in the field. These aren’t just terminations—they’re peace of mind for your entire system.
