Integration Instructions

The following Integration Instructions outline the general steps for preparing and assembling coaxial cables to antenna connectors. Following these guidelines ensures proper fit, secure connections, and reliable performance across a variety of antenna products.

Step 1:
Before beginning an installation, ensure your coaxial cable is stripped according to the recommended cable stripping guidelines. Using a precision stripping tool, remove the outer jacket, braided shielding, and dielectric layer to the specified lengths required for the connector system. Taoglas recommends that you refer to product-specific drawings or specifications for exact dimensions.

Step 2:
Once stripped, insert the prepared cable into the connector assembly, ensuring correct alignment with internal contact points. The center conductor should fit securely into the mating contact, while the braided shield engages fully with the grounding structure. Push the cable in until it is fully seated. A proper fit ensures stable signal transmission and effective shielding, both critical for high-frequency antenna applications.

Step 3:
After connection, visually inspect the cable and connector interface to confirm proper assembly. There should be no exposed or stray shielding strands, and the center conductor should be correctly positioned within the contact pin. The overall assembly length should match the intended design, supporting consistent electrical performance across different antenna models.

Step 4:
Once assembled, secure the connector as required by the application. For antennas used in environments subject to vibration or movement such as automotive, industrial, or wireless systems, additional strain relief may be necessary.
