Wiring between PABs
When multiple antenna aisles are installed, it may require installing sync wire and network

m
munication cable between the aisles. For PX/QX with Coupler installation, all sync cables and
network communication cables are connected to the TR4026 electronic boards in the primary
antennas (PABs).
Sync Cable
The sync cable (RF Sync) needs to be installed between PABs if the distance between aisles is
under 40 feet. If two aisles are more than 40 feet apart, no sync cable is needed. Use 22 AWG
4-conductor (STP) (5594) cable for sync cable. Follow the Sync Cable Wiring Table below to
wire it to appropriate terminals. Sync cables are wired in daisy chain style. There are two sync
cables in a PAB antenna, the input cable and the output cable The first PAB only uses Sync
Output cable, the last PAB has the Input sync cable. The Output cable connects from terminal (J10)
to next PAB’s Sync Input terminal (J9). Figure 8 Wiring Sync Cable illustrates the wiring method.
Please refer the table below for Sync wire terminal connector pin assignment.
