Connecting Pigtail Cables to the Antenna Cable

Appendix B:

Connecting Pigtail Cables to 
the Antenna Cable

Pigtail cables are required in the following circumstances:

If you are not using a new RG-58 or LMR-240 cable, 
connect a pigtail cable between it and the BDU’s TNC 
connector. The stiffness of other cable types can 
overstress the connector on the BDU. 

You might use a 

pigtail cable at the antenna end as well to make it easier 
to maintain proper bend radius.

If you are reusing a preinstalled cable that does not 
have an N-type connector at the antenna end, use a 
pigtail cable to convert it. 

Six types of pigtail cables are available from KVH to 
accommodate different connectors, as needed (see 
Figure 68). All pigtail cables are 3 ft (1 m) in length. 

Figure 68:  Pigtail Cables

Follow the steps below to connect a pigtail cable to the 
antenna cable.

1.

Slide a heat shrink sleeve onto the end of the pigtail 
cable for later use. 

The heat shrink will protect the 

connection between the antenna cable connector and 
the pigtail cable connector. 

2.

Fill half of the inner body of the antenna cable 
connector with the supplied silicone grease to prevent 
moisture and corrosion.

3.

Connect and 

SLOWLY

 hand-tighten the male antenna 

cable connector to the female connector end of the 
pigtail cable, allowing the grease to diffuse and settle 
into the entire space within the connector.

4.

Make sure the antenna cable connector is tightened all 
the way into the pigtail cable’s connector. For N-type 
and TNC connectors, hand-tightening is sufficient. For 
F-type connectors, use as 7/16" torque wrench set to 
20 in-lbs.

5.

Seal the antenna cable-to-pigtail connection using 
self-vulcanizing tape or equivalent. Then protect the 
connection with the heat shrink.
