Softzorb MCS


Home - Products - Absorbers - Microwave Absorbing Gap Fillers

Low deflection force absorber gap filler

This softer material offers lower deflection for use in cavities whenever a lid may potential contact with and compress the absorber causing possible damage to other components. In addition, Softzorb MCS’ ability to more thoroughly fill the cavity greatly increases absorber performance by limiting leakage around the absorber. Can be used in commercial Datacom equipment such as optical transceiver cavities where space is at a premium and superior absorbing capabilities are required
