Description
This splice connector is designed to join two ends of coaxial
cable by means of a stud with opposing threads. Each end of
the stud screws into an inner stub held by tabs of the cable
inner conductor. The cable ends are drawn together as the stud
is tightened.

Notice
The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems
requires qualified, experienced personnel. Andrew installation
instructions have been written for such personnel. Antenna
systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel
to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of
equipment.
Andrew disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results
of improper or unsafe installation practices.
Read the Following Instructions
Thoroughly Before Assembly
| 1 |
Cut each cable end square and remove
metal burrs. Tilt the cable downward to avoid the entry of
particles into the cable.
|
|
| 2 |
Remove 2-1/8" (54 mm) of jacket from
the outer conductor. Wrap paper around the cable to form a
cutting guide. Clean the outer conductor with solvent.
|
| 3 |
Turn the threaded gasket inside out
and stretch it over the end of the cable. Then flip the
gasket over and screw it into position against the cable
jacket.
|
| 4 |
Add a thin coating of silicone
grease to the outer surface of the threaded gasket and
the inner surfaces of the splice nut, splice body, and
threaded body. Slide the splice nut onto one cable and
then screw the splice body onto the outer conductor so
that about 1/8" (3 mm) of the conductor protrudes. Wipe
off any silicone grease from the protruding outer
conductor. Install the threaded body onto the other
cable in the same way as the splice body.
