ConnectingCablesinaSingle‐SlotRFModuleInstallation

1 PositionthecablessothattheyareundertherightedgeoftheRFModule,pointingup.

2 Followtheruleslistedin“UnderstandingtheRFModuleCables”onpage15.

3 Workingfromthebottomconnectorup,connecttheRFModulecables,asfollows:

a ConnecttheMODNTX1/RX1cabletotheRFModule.

i IfaTX1/RX1RFModuleconnectionisavailable,inserttheN‐StylePlugoftheMODN

TX1/RX1cableintotheTX1/RX1N‐StyleJackoftheRFModule.If RF Module

connection is not available, constrain the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to accompanying

cablesusingatiewrapsoitcannotbepinchedorpreventthePRUdoorfromclosing.

ii Turnthecouplingnutoftheplugclockwisetothreadontothejackandfinger‐tighten.

iii Torquecouplingnutto8+/‐1in‐lbstoensurefullconnection.

NOTE: InsufficienttorqueappliedtoRFModuleconnectionscanresultinelevatedinsertion/returnloss

andhigherthannormalVSWRreportedbythesystem.

b ConnecttheMODNTX0/RX0cabletotheRFModule.

i InserttheN‐StylePlugoftheMODNTX0/RX0cableintotheTX0/RX0N‐StyleJackof

theRFModule.

ii Turnthecouplingnutoftheplugclockwisetothreadontothejackandfinger‐tighten.

iii Torquecouplingnutto8+/‐1in‐lbstoensurefullconnection.

NOTE: InsufficienttorqueappliedtoRFModuleconnectionscanresultinelevatedinsertion/returnloss

andhigherthannormalVSWRreportedbythesystem.

c ConnecttheLVDSCablestotheRFModule.

i Connect the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to the DIV receptacle of the RF Module by

insertingandslidinginuntilfullyseated.

NOTE: AlwaysconnecttheDiversityLVDSCablewiththeRFModule.

ConnecttheMODNPRIMLVDSCabletothePRIMconnector,followingthesamesteps

asabove.

NOTE: Fullinsertion canberecognizedbyanaudibleclickastheLVDSCableConnectorlocksintotheRF

Module Receptacle. This can be verified by lightly pulling back on the LVDS connector while

makingsurenottodepressthereleasetrigger.Whenfullyinserted,thecableshouldnotbeable

beremovedfromthereceptacle.

d ConnectthePowerCableConnectortothePWRreceptacleoftheRFModulebyinserting

andslidinginuntilfullyseated.

NOTE: FullinsertioncanberecognizedbyanaudibleclickasthePowerCableConnectorlocksintothe

RFModuleReceptacle.ThiscanbeverifiedbylightlypullingbackonthePowerCableConnector

whilemakingsurenottodepressthereleasetriggersontheendsoftheconnector.When fully

inserted,

thecableshouldnotbeabletoberemovedfromthereceptacle.
