Cable Crimping

This chapter describes the procedure for crimping cables for 15-Pin D-type and N-

type connectors that are used in BSR/SPR-to-BSDU/SDA and BSR-to-GPS

connections, respectively. The opposite ends of these cables are un-terminated,

thereby providing length flexibility for connecting these WipLL units.

Crimping procedures are described for the following cable-connector terminations:

! CAT-5e/15-Pin D-type cable/connector terminations for SPR-to-SDA

connections

! Multipair Overall Shielded (22 AWG)/N-type cable/connector terminations

for GPS antenna connections.

! GPS antenna connector

Warning: Correct crimping of network cables is crucial for ensuring service

integrity.

B.1. Crimping CAT-5e/15-Pin D-Type Cable

Connectors

This section describes the cable stripping and crimping of CAT-5e cables for 15-Pin

D-type connectors used for BSR/SPR-to-BSDU/SDA connections.

Airspan recommends the "ITT Canon DB15" (code number ‘DAW15P’) sub-

miniature type. This connector is an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)

which crimps and secures the cable at the connection point.
