Note: The total loop resistance of the control cable path must be under 30Ω for reliable
operation.

Note:
Do not seal the connectors! The connectors are recessed inside a drip edge that
prevents water from getting into connectors. The cover-to-connector plate
junction is not sealed so the unit can“ breathe” and eliminate condensation.
Grounding Ports
To ground an inactive port, usually for phased array systems, solder a
jumper wire between the foil traces for that port as shown. Installing the
jumper does not enhance lightning protection and is not recommended for
normal antenna selection applications.
Port 8 shown as an example
DXE-CW9S - Shielded Control Wire, 9 conductor stranded, per foot
DXE-CW9S is a high quality shielded outdoor cable. It features 9 #24 AWG stranded conductors with aluminum
foil shielding plus a #24 stranded tinned copper drain wire. This gives you 8 switch positions plus common ground -
plus the separate shield. It has a gray PVC jacket. This cable is ideal for DX Engineering Remote Antenna Switches
and Four Square arrays, and should be considered for any low-current custom remote switching application you have
- such as receiving antenna arrays. Order by the foot in the length you require.
