Figure 2-1. Coaxial Connector Example
The SPOD 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.
