1.6 RF Coax Cable and N-Type Connector
Make sure the RF coax cable to the N-type connector is free from sharp bends or twists.
If access to the rear of the rack frame is restricted, the cable should be long enough to
allow the slimline assembly to be fully withdrawn from the cabinet.
Make sure that any N-type plugs connected to Tait equipment are assembled according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is particularly important that the centre pin in the
plug is positioned correctly:
• if the pin is positioned too far back in the plug, it may not make good contact
with the socket;
• if the pin protrudes too far (as shown in Figure 1.5), or is not straight, it may
damage the socket when the plug is screwed in.
