At the antenna, each connector has an identifying color band. To ensure the cables are connected to the
correct port, affix the following marking at the termination points of each cable:
Sum (Sigma) Port The Sum (Sigma) port is the forward antenna connector. It is marked with
a blue band. Fabricate the sum antenna cable with a TNC connector at
each end. Affix a blue marking band on each connector. At the TRC, the
sum port (J9) is identified with blue marking.
Probe (Bit) Port The Probe (Bit) port is the center antenna connector. Fabricate the probe
cable with a BNC connector at each end.
Difference (Delta) Port The Difference (Delta) port is the rear antenna connector. It is marked with
a red band. Fabricate the difference antenna cable with a TNC connector at
each end. Affix red marking band on each connector. At the TRC, the
difference port (J11) is identified with red marking.
When routing antenna cables, observe the following precautions:
• All cable routing should be kept as short (do not exceed maximum cable length detailed in table
2-1) and direct as possible.
• Avoid sharp bends (do not exceed maximum bend radius detailed in table 2-1).
• Avoid routing cable near power sources (e.g., 400 Hertz generators, trim motors, etc.) and near
power for fluorescent lighting.
• Avoid routing cable near ADF antenna cable (allow at least a 12-inch separation).
• Observe all wiring notes on interconnect wiring diagram (figure 2-2 or 2-3).
• Use pressurized bulkhead connectors certified to 30 psi or greater where needed.
