12.2 Cables
12.2.1 RF cables
If the antenna cable is shorter than 5 m a good quality 50 ohm RF cable can be used (e.g. RG58).
In case a longer cable is required, it should be a low loss RF cable. As a standard cable we supply
50 ohm RG58 cable in lengths of 1 m (CRF-1) and 5 m (CRF-5).
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 oxidize easily and cause
malfunction of the system.
12.2.2 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 lengths 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-2ASxE radio modem. The interface adapter matches the connector of
the modem and provides a 9 pin (female) D connector. In addition there is a straight cable with 9
pin connectors, CRS-9.
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 oxidize easily and cause
malfunction of the system.
