Installation Instruction

Notes

To join two cables with EIA connectors, two identical socket connectors are installed on either end of the cables to be joined, and a coupling element is used to make the connection of the center conductor.
The coupling element must be ordered separately.
¹) The sealing compound must be ordered separately.
