Telegärtner RF Connectors Explained: Interview with Günter Wäller (Coax Division Lead)

From switchboards to 5G: Telegärtner’s “iPhone moment” in RF connectors 📡

Ever seen those old black-and-white movies with a switchboard operator plugging calls together? That’s where Telegärtner’s connector story began — and in this interview, Mr. Wäller (Head of Coaxial Division) takes us on a fast (and surprisingly fun) ride through the evolution of RF/coax connectors.

You’ll hear about:

Telegärtner’s origins in telephone switch plugs and early BNC days

The legendary EAD “make before break” outlet — the invention that prevented entire networks from dropping when one device disconnected (“our iPhone moment”)

Why 50Ω impedance matters (even when the connector is huge)

How connector design mixes RF performance + mechanical engineering

Where these connectors live in real life: base stations, antennas, measurement gear, and more
