Notices
xiv
All signal connections (including remote control connections) shall be made with screened
cables terminated in connectors having a metal shell. The cable screen shall have a large-
area contact with the metal shell.
SIGNAL/DATA PORTS
For unconnected signal/data ports on the unit, fit shielding covers. For example, fit EMI
blanking covers to SFP+ type ports; and fit 75 Ώ RF terminators to BNC type ports.
COAXIAL CABLES
Coaxial cables connections (particularly serial digital video connections) shall be made with
high-quality double-screened coaxial cables such as Belden 8281 or BBC type PSF1/2M and
Belden 1694A (for 3Gbps).
D-TYPE CONNECTORS
D-type connectors shall have metal shells making good RF contact with the cable screen.
Connectors having “dimples” which improve the contact between the plug and socket
shells, are recommended.
