DXE-F6 - 75 Ω F-6 Style, Direct Bury Coaxial Cable: Full Spool or Cu

 

stom Cable Assemblies

 

DX Engineering recommends using a high quality 75 Ω “flooded” F6 type coaxial cable. Flooded style cables 
have the distinct advantage of automatically sealing small accidental cuts or lacerations of the jacket. Flooding 
also prevents shield contamination and can be direct-buried. This low-loss cable features dual shields and an 
85% Velocity Factor. 

 

Custom cable assemblies are available, Call DX Engineering for details.

 

DXE-SNS6 

Snap-N-Seal connectors are recommended for use with this coaxial cable to ensure a high quality 

and weather resistant feedline connection. The proper tool 

DXE-SNS-CT1

 must be used to install these connectors. 

 
 

DXE-CPT-659 - Coax Cable Stripper for CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable  

Coax Cable Stripper for CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable.  
Includes 1 Replacement Blade - DXE-CPT-659 
Prepares CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable for the installation of "F" type connectors - One-step cutting 
motion  

 

Precision cut  

 

No nicks or scratches to conductor  

 
 
DXE-SNS6-25 - Watertight Coaxial Connector, Snap-N-Seal for CATV F-6 Cable, 25 pieces  

Snap-N-Seal is an environmentally sealed CATV F coaxial connector system for harsh environments. The connectors 
have a unique, 360 degree radial compression system that offers the signal leakage protection required for high 
performance receive systems.  

 

Quad sealed system prevents moisture from migrating into the connection  

 

360 degree radial compression provides superior RF integrity (-95dB typical, 60% bonded foil cable)  

 

Easy cable preparation  

 

Connector to cable retention of 40 lbs minimum  

 

Superb impedance match to 1 GHz  

 

Manufactured of high quality 360 brass, cadmium plated with yellow chromate coating for maximum corrosion resistance  

 

UV-resistant plastic and O-rings provide a reliable environmentally sealed connector 

An installation tool, such as the

 DXE-SNS-CT1

 is required to install the connectors. Normal crimping tools or pliers will not work.  

 
 
DXE-SNS-CT1 - Compression Tool for Snap-N-Seal 75 Ω Coaxial Connectors

 

 

Ratchet compression tool for installing 

DXE-SNS6 

Snap-N-Seal coaxial connectors. Ordinary pliers will not install 

these connectors properly.  

 
 
DXE-TVSU-1A - Time Variable Sequencer Unit 

The DX Engineering 

TVSU-1A

 

Time Variable Sequencer Unit

 is a microprocessor-based transmit / receive control-signal delay 

unit. It provides 0-30 ms of delay, programmable in 2 ms increments, to as many as five outputs tied to the CW keying or push-to-
talk (PTT) lines.  
By controlling the receive-to-transmit (and back) timing of linear amplifiers, preamplifiers, and other sensitive equipment, damage 
caused by improper switching can be eliminated.  
This sequencer improves CW performance by eliminating annoying leading edge chopping or truncating of Morse characters. This is 
especially important in contests or pileups where sending accuracy is critical. 
The TVSU can also control external devices such as preamps, active antennas, or external relays that need 
to have power removed during transmit. Separate power-in and power-out jacks on the front 
panel are used to control external power in this type of application. Two 2.1mm power plugs and two 
3.5mm stereo plugs are provided. 

Benefits

  

 

Control timing of PTT turn-on, hang delay of PTT, amplifier hang delay, external antenna relay hang delay and turn-on delay of 
auxiliary output  

 

Dip switch settable delays of 0-30 milliseconds in 2 millisecond steps  

 

Side tone generator that follows input of keyer or hand key not transmitter  

 

Side tone pitch can be programmed from 300 to 1000 Hz in 50 Hz steps, front panel headphone jack with adjustable volume  

 

Supports CW full break in  

 

Can control external power to our Active Receive Antennas and permit operation in closer proximity to transmit antennas
