Cabling Connection Types

2.1.1 Coaxial Cable Connections

Coupling Type
Threaded
(Type 'N' shown)
The HPOD SSPA uses Type 'N' coaxial cables. Type 'N' Coaxial cables (plugs) and their mating
connectors (jacks/sockets) are available in a threaded coupling style (Figure 2‐1). The jack for
this coupling style features external threads. The plug shell features internal threads, and has
either a knurled outer surface (to permit hand tightening of the connection) or hex flats (to
accommodate torqued installation).
Connection Instructions – Engage the plug onto the jack threads, and then turn the plug
clockwise until it is fully threaded onto the jack. Do not over‐tighten the connection.

2.1.2 Circular Cable Connections

The circular connectors provided on the HPOD SSPA accommodate weatherproof outdoor
applications. The connector pairs (Figure 2‐2) feature a sleeve lock configuration, with an array
of pins (male side) coupled to mating sockets (female side).
