3M PIM Reduction Products

3M External PIM Absorber 1000 is a composite material consisting of a carrier resin, magnetic fillers and an acrylicpressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). This magnetic material is designedto help reduce radio frequency (RF) electrical currents associated with Passive Intermodulation (PIM), in wireless communications infrastructure. When 3M External PIM Absorber 1000 is applied adjacent to a PIM source, currents flowing to and from the PIM source can be significantly reduced, thereby increasing the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the radio access network.

The 3M External PIM Absorber 1000 is intended for applications in the 700MHz - 2GHz frequency range as the higher loss (u") characteristics of the 3M External PIM Absorber provide for excellent EM (Electro-Magnetic) field reduction.

By helping reduce RF currents with 3M External PIM Absorber 1000 before they reach a PIM source, any resulting PIM products are significantly reduced. For every 1dB reduction of these currents before they reach a PIM source, third order PIM products are reduced by 3dB, fifth order PIM products are reduced by 5dB and so on.

Protect your network in three easy steps.

The 3M PIMReduction Kit 1300 is made up of three layers, each developed through3M science:

3M External PIM Absorber 1000: Compositematerial consisting of a carrier resin, magnetic fillers and anacrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA)

Scotch LinerlessRubber Splicing Tape 130C: Provides electrical and mechanicalprotection with the combination of an aggressive rubber resinadhesive and a self fusing, ethylene propylene backing.

"DoNot Remove" Label: Informs technicians that the layers of tapeshouldn't be removed during maintenance tasks

Together, these products offer an effective, robust solution forpassive intermodulation (PIM) issues while allowing for easierinstallation with zero site downtime. In addition, it does not impedeantenna adjustment and helps you promote the greater signal-to-noiseratio you need to support the higher data rates of 5G networks.
