2-2 Connection of Cables within the BTS
There are multiple connections between cards which must be made within the WAVEXpress/BTS. The cards are
connected using semi-rigid, shielded cabling, supplied with the system, which usually terminate with SMA connectors.
Each cable supplied is identified with an eight digit part number and a label, as shown in section Figure 2-7 : "Cable
identification". Their shape determines the only possible orientation in which they can be connected.
There are two types of SMA cables, distinguished by the type of their end-fitting, which are shipped with the
WAVEXpress/BTS. The first type has a captive nut, held in place on the end of the cable with a small c-clamp. The
second type of cable has a loose fitting which can slide down the cable's body.
