UNDERSTANDINGTHERFMODULECABLES
BeforeyouinstalltheRFModulecables,familiarizeyourselfwiththerulesthatpertaintothese
cables,asdefinedinthefollowingsections.
AlwaysprovidedateachRFModuleshelfarefivecables:
• twoHigh‐SpeedDataCables,whichinthisdocumentarereferredtoasLVDS(Low‐Voltage
DifferentialSignaling)cables
• twoRFCables(TX0/RX0)and(TX1/RX1)
• onePower(PWR)Cable.
PowerCableConnection
Maintainadequatestrainreliefdistancesfromtheconnectionpointstothemodule.
LVDSCableConnections
• LVDScableslabeledPRIMandDIVshouldalwayseitherbeconnectedtoaRFModuleorstrain
relievedtoadjacentcables,asthisprotectsthecableagainstdamagethroughmisplacement.
• AlignandfullyinserttheLVDScableconnectorsintotheirrespectiveconnectorcages.Full
insertionisidentifiedbyanaudibleclick.
• EnsurethetwoLVDScablesarefullyseatedandlatchedintotheirrespectivereceptacleson
theRFModulebylightlypullingoutwardontheconnectors.Iffullyseatedandlockedinto
position,thecableconnectorswillnotslidebackout.
• Maintainadequatestrain‐reliefdistancesfromtheconnectionpointstotheRFModule.
RFCableConnections
TheRFModulecablesthatarepre‐installedinthePRUconnecttothecorrespondingconnectors
ontheRFModule.TheRFModulecablescorrelatetotheantennaconnectorsonthebottomofthe
PRUchassis.
