Kona Storm 6.1
3: Cables and Setup
The
Kona
recieves
input
from
a
female NL8
connector.
By
means
of
a
dedicated cable
terminated
with
2
male
NL8Fc connectors
it
is
connected
to
its
passive crossover. This crossover
is usually boxed. In our catalogue there are 3
box types (also equipped with a female NL8
output for connection with the aforementioned
dedicated
cable):
standard
box
(cod STBOXKO),
metal
rack
box
(cod RBOXKO),
or weatherproof
box
in
composite
(cod
WPBOXKO).
The
connectors
are
standard NL8 or
water
proof on request.
The
specific connection
cable
Pequod
(code CAB03KO), which
can
be
ordered
for
the product,
is
made of
high
quality
OF
copper,
conductor section
2.5 mmq with
a standard length of 3 m, and is suitable
when the Crossover box is near the Kona.
Other lengths are provided upon request.
In
case of custom realization by the installer
of
the
connection
cables,
we
recommend
specifying installation
grade
Low Smoke
Zero
Halogen
(LSZH) cables
for permanent installations. The cables should
use Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) of grade
C11000 or above.
For distances of more than 15 meters between
Kona and crossover we recommend increasing
the section of the cable poles to 4 mmq, to avoid
excessive emission level losses.
Connection Schemes:
1) Cable between Kona and xover:
8-pole cable
and number 2 connectors (A and B)

NL8Fc (do not connect terminals 1+ 1-).
Connection of the cable poles between the 2
connectors, according to the following diagram,
where each wire connects corresponding numbers
on connector A and connector B, used to terminate
the cable itself.
2) Cable between xover and amp (not supplied):
2-pole cable (2.5 mmq minimum section per pole
up to a cable length of 15 m, in addition we
recommend switching to 4 mmq per pole),
terminated with Nl4Fc male connector ( + 1 / -1
