2.5 External Connectors
The rear panels of the MTX5000 IDU configurations contain the
I/O connectors and an input fuse, as shown in Figure 2-6 on
page 2-6 . Connectors contained on the ODU are shown in
Figure 2-7 on page 2-6 .
The MTX5000 system is designed to make upgrading from an
older radio as easy as possible. The IDU and ODU can be
ordered with a variety of connectors to plug into an existing
wiring harness. Connectors available for the cable connection
between the IDU and ODU are as follows:
• Triax (both ends)
• Type “N” (both ends)
• TNC (both ends).
If your MTX5000 system contains the TNC connector option on
the IDU, a TNC connector must be attached to the ODU end of
the cable for weather and reliability purposes.
All ODU configurations contain a standard Type “N” connector
for connection to the antenna.
If your MTX5000 system IDU is equipped with either Type “N” or
TNC connectors, the IDU will contain an 8-pin Weidmuller
connector to provide DC power and control to the ODU via the
ODU
POWER connector.
If your system is equipped with Triax connectors, the 8-pin
Weidmuller connector will not be present on the rear panel of
the IDU. With the Triax connector option, both DC power and
control are provided to the ODU via the Triax cable connected
between the IDU and the ODU. If the Triax connector option is
contained on your MTX5000 system, a
POWER connector will
not be present on the ODU.
