7) Cables running greater than 110 feet will require an F to F BNC coupling to a second
cable. Use ONLY a 25 foot coaxial cable for extension:
 Tx/ATA antennas can only support cable lengths up to 110 feet.
 Rx/ARA antennas can only support cable lengths up to 135 feet.
 Only use the BNC coupling and 25 foot coaxial cable to extend a 110 foot coaxial
cable.
 If after pulling a 110 foot cable it is found too be short, then add a 25 foot cable to
facilitate the extra length needed. Do not pull on the coupling of the cables. Do
not extend a Tx/ATA cable beyond 110 foot.
 Move the cable label to the end of the extension cable. A cable label must be at
the MEU end and the Antenna end of each cable.
 Wrap electrical tape firmly around the coupled connection to insulate from any
possible loosening or electrical short.
o Turn each connector on the end of the
coaxial cable clockwise to attach the
cables to the BNC connector.
o About 1” past the right side of the
connection, wrap electric tape in
clockwise motion around the cable and
connection.
o When you get to the left side of the
connection be careful not loosen the
connection as you finish taping. The
clockwise motion of applying the tape will
loosen the left cable connector if you are
not careful. If you loosen the connection,
the cable will fail and result in
degradation of system functionality
.
Correct method to join two cables.
