Preparing the Main Feeder Connectors
Caution:
The preparation of the feeder connector is the most important part in the antenna feeder
installation engineering. The quality of the job directly affects the equipment operation
and the network quality.
Since the cutting tool used is sharp, use it correctly to avoid body injury.
This section takes the Rosenberger 7/8" feeder connector as an example to describe the
preparation process. For the installation of the feeder connector of other specifications
or other manufacturers, please refer to their installation instructions.
Take the 7/8" main feeder connector as an example. The procedure to make the
connector is as follows:
1. The common cutting tool to make the feeder connector is as shown in Fig.
10.4-6.

2. Measure a straight feeder section of about 150mm to be installed with the
connector, and cut and strip the feeder sheath 50mm away from the end using a
safety cutting tool.
3. Put the feeder into the notch of the cutter (EASIAX), leaving a length of four
sheath threads from the main blade. And then close the cutter handles. Since the
position of the cutter is determined according to the threads on the external
copper sheath of the feeder, the main blade should just be aligned to the crest at
the center of a thread of the feeder.
