Window and Wall Antenna Cable Choices

A window or wall antenna includes an attached coaxial cable terminating in a male
SMA connector. A separate cable is required to connect the IF converter to the
TimeSource 3600 shelf. Two types of plenum-rated cable are available.
The cables with longer length capabilities (060-72010-xx) are RG-59/U (20 AWG
[0.812 mm], 75 ohm coaxial) with male TNC connectors attached to each end.
Assembled cables are available in the following lengths:
3 m cable (060-72010-01)
6 m cable (060-72010-02)
15 m cable (060-72010-05)
30 m cable (060-72010-10)
61 m cable (060-72010-20)
91 m cable (060-72010-30)
152 m cable (060-72010-50)
182 m cable (060-72010-60)
243 m cable (060-72010-80)
305 m cable (060-72010-99)
The more flexible cables (060-72050-xx) are Mini RG-59/U (20 AWG [0.812 mm],
75 ohm coaxial) with male TNC connectors attached to each end. Assembled
cables are available in the following lengths:
15 m cable (060-72050-05)
30 m cable (060-72050-10)
61 m cable (060-72050-20)
152 m cable (060-72050-50)
IRIG-B TOD (990-72060-05 System Only)
If you are using the IRIG-B TOD outputs (990-72060-05 TimeSource 3600 System),
right-angle BNC connectors are provided to prevent small radius turns in the IRIG-B
TOD cables. The right-angle BNC connectors may be attached to the IRIG-B BNC
connectors, to direct the cables from the shelf as desired.
For each IRIG-B TOD output, a user-supplied cable with BNC connectors on each
end is installed between the adapter and the network elements requiring IRIG-B
TOD timing.
