3.4 Coaxial Cable Installation 1. Choose the correct coax: RG-400/U has good characteristics for loss, size, and flexibility. NOTE It is critical to the performance of the GDL 59 to keep the cable loss of the antenna cable to a minimum through the use of appropriate coax cable and proper connector installation. 2. Trim the coaxial cable to the desired length and install TNC connectors at each end per the cabling instructions listed in Figure 3-1. For routing convenience, one end of the coaxial run can be terminated prior to installation. 3. With the GDL 59 receiver and antenna installed, route and clamp the coaxial cable in position. Secure cable in accordance with AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11. Figure 3-1. TNC Connector Installation Page 3-4 Revision C GDL 59 Installation Manual 190-00837-00
