2.4 Cabling and Wiring
Refer to the interconnect examples in Appendix D for wire gauge guidance.
For special installations that require the use of #18 or #20 AWG wire for power connections, the provided
connector kit supplies extended barrel contacts for AWG #18 wire. Special thin-wall heat shrink tubing is
also provided to insulate the extended barrels inside the backshell. If using #18 barrel contacts, ensure that
no two contacts are mounted directly adjacent to each other. This minimizes the risk of contacts touching
and shorting to adjacent pins and to ground. Ensure that routing of the wiring does not come in contact
with sources of heat, RF or EMI interference. Check that there is ample space for the cabling and mating
connectors. Avoid sharp bends in cabling and routing near aircraft control cables.
The GTX 33 and GTX 33D back-plate assemblies utilize BNC-type (bayonet connection) coaxial
connectors. The GTX 33H and GTX 33DH back-plate assemblies utilize TNC-type (threaded connection)
coaxial connectors.
The following table lists examples of the recommended antenna cable vendors and the type of cable to be
used for specific lengths of cable. Any cable meeting specifications is acceptable for the installation.
The maximum coaxial cable attenuation at 1090 MHz must not exceed 1.5 dB, including connectors. In the
diversity installation the cable loss characteristics must be the same within ±0.1 dB (cables within 4 inches
of the same length will have less than 0.1 dB difference in their loss characteristics).
The following table is for reference only, and lists some suitable cable types, along with the maximum
length based on an assumed loss figure of 0.2 dB per connector. Any 50
Ω
, double shielded coaxial cable
assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the 1.5 dB maximum loss figure (including
connectors) may be used.
