Ethernet Network Adapter E810-CQDA2T
User Guide
10 722960-002
The optional GNSS module has a connection to an external antenna via an SMB female connector at the
bottom of the faceplate. A cable with an SMB male connector and the characteristics listed in Ta b l e 3
are required to use the GNSS.
The two SMA female connectors on the upper part of the faceplate are used for sending or receiving
timing signals. Cables with SMA male connectors and the characteristics listed in Tabl e 4 are required to
use the SMA ports.
The U.FL cables have similar requirements as the SMA cables, except there is no torque requirement,
and the tested cable length is <1 meter.
