Connecting the cable

Preparing the coaxial cable and attaching the connector to the cable

Caution Make sure the outer mesh conductor (shield mesh) does not come in contact with the center conductor.Do not make any scratches on the center or mesh conductors. Do not stub yourself with the centerconductor.

Preparation of the waterproof capCut the end of the cap accordanceto the cable thickness (Diameter)

Cut it off with scissors or knife

Preparing for the cable (5CFB)The F-type connector is not supplied

Tools:Cutter or knife, scissors, wire cutter, pliers

Names of the parts

Mesh conductor shield wire center wire

aluminum ring

outer cover foil insulator F-Typeconnector

Insert the waterproof cap beforepreparing for the cable.

Cut the outer cover as shown(14mm long, 1mm deep) usinga cutter or knife

waterproof coverpeel off

Peel off the end and insert the aluminum ring.

Cutting the shield mesh off leaving 2mm fromthe edge of outer cover cut-off.

Flip the shield mesh over the outer cover

Cutting the aluminum foil and insulator off at3mm from the edge of shield mesh conductor

Insert the F-type connector between thealuminum foil and the shield mesh conductor. Secure the connector tightening the aluminum ring.Cutting the center wire diagonally leaving 1~2mmfrom the edge of the connector.

Do not leave the center wire too long

it may damage the connector terminals

Cut it diagonally so it’s easier to connectPoints

Make sure the center wire does not have any fitth on it, if so clean it off.Use the center wire diameter if it is under 1.5mm. If larger than the diameter, use the F-type connector that come with the center pin.

* Use the same type of cable previously used when replacing the cable.

Connecting the cable to the antenna

Connect the coaxial cable to the antenna and tighten (2.0 N-m, or 20 kgf-cm) it using pliers. Place the waterproof cover over the connector.For areas that have heavy rain or salt-damages. Wrap some adhesion tape and vinyl tape around the connector then put the waterproof cover for additional protection.
