MPCI-L2 series modules are equipped with two Hirose U.FL-R-SMT RF receptacles for ANT1 / ANT2 ports, which
require a suitable mated RF plug from the same connector series as the examples listed in Table 23.
To mate the connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be aligned. The "click" will confirm the fully
mated connection. Do not attempt to insert on an extreme angle: insert the RF plug connectors vertically into
the ANT1 / ANT2 RF receptacles of the modules, as described in Figure 67.

Figure 67: Precautions during RF connector mating
To unplug the RF cable assembly it is encouraged to use a suitable extraction tool for the RF connector, such as
the Hirose U.FL-LP-N or the Hirose U.FL-LP(V)-N extraction jig, according to the RF cable assembly type used.
Hook the end portion of the extraction jig onto the connector cover and pull off vertically in the direction of the
connector mating axis, as described in Figure 68.

Figure 68: Precautions during RF connector extraction
Any attempt to unplug the RF connectors by pulling on the cable assembly without using a suitable extraction
tool may result in damage and affect the RF performance.
Do not forcefully twist, deform, or apply any excessive pull force to the RF cables or damage the RF connectors,
otherwise the RF performance may be reduced.
