7/16 (DIN connectors) are designed for use in communications systems with power levels of 100 watts per channel.
Deutsh Industries Norm (DIN) is an acronym for German standards that apply to 7/16 connectors and are gaining acceptance worldwide. They feature rugged design, high power transmission, and low intermodulation distortion.
