Cables
NOTE ! Please check, that the contact area of cable connectors is gold plated and that
the connectors used are reliable. Ageing connectors of poor quality oxidate easily and
cause malfunction of the system.
6.2.1 RF cables
If the antenna cable is shorter than 5 m a good quality 50 ohm RF cable can be used (e.g.
RG58). If a longer cable is required a low loss RF cable is highly recommendable. As a
standard cable we supply 50 ohm RG58 cable in lengths of 1 m (CRF-1) and 5 m (CRF-5).
6.2.2 Interface cables
When planning the location of the radio modem, it must be observed that the maximum
length of an RS-232 cable is 15 m. The cable must be shielded. The maximum length of
the power supply cable is 2 m. As standard cables we supply cables with either a 25 pin
connector CRS-1 F or CRS-1 M (F=female, M=male) or with a 9 pin connector CRS-2 F
or CRS-2 M. The length of the cables are 2 m and they contain both interface and power
supply cables.
There is also an interface adapter ARS-1F with a programming switch and power supply
cables available for the SATELLINE-2ASx radio modem. The interface adapter matches the
connector of the modem to a 9 pin (female) D connector. In addition there is a straight
cable with 9 pin connector, CRS-9.
