Step E Slide the UHF coupling ring onto the plug. Slide the outer ferrule (and the remaining foil, if any,
for JPP cable) over the braid and up to the UHF plug body. Make sure the braid extends slightly
past the end of the outer ferrule against the UHF plug body. Position the crimp tool 0.255" die
carefully around the outer ferrule. Hold the outer ferrule tight against the plug body and crimp it.
The UHF coupling ring is now captive and cannot be removed from the plug body.
Step F Trim any center conductor extending out of the center contact of the plug.
Test all connections as described in the “Cable and Connector Testing Procedures” section. Each
end of the cable in the stage shown above will be fastened together by using one UHF straight
adapter. All cable connectors should be encapsulated with non-corrosive RTV sealant and shrink
tubing.
8.2.4 CAGOLD Connector for ATP Cable
The CAGOLD cable connector can be used at a calibration point to make it reusable, instead of the
standard permanent crimp connector. Steps A thru G must be followed to install a connector.
Step A Make sure the red and white wires are twisted with an approximate 2”–3” [50mm-75mm] pitch and
then cut off excess ATP cable. Slide the UHF coupling ring onto the cable, followed by the outer
ferrule.
Step B Remove ½” [12 mm] of the insulation on the red wire.
Step C As a measuring guide, slide the plug body onto the red wire until it stops against the wire insulation.
The wire should extend out of the center contact. Cut the white wire even with the shoulder of the
plug body. Remove the plug body and strip ½” [12 mm] of the insulation from the white wire.
Step D Slide the plug body on the red wire again until the white wire is just past the tapered end of the
inner ferrule. Then slide the outer ferrule over the end of the inner ferrule and the white wire until
it is a snug fit.
