Prepare DSX-1 Cables

NOTE: DSX-1 shield drain wire must be attached to connector on Access Navigator. Do not ground second shield drain wire at other end of cable. If second shield ground is not required for cable extensions, fold back and wrap with electrical tape.

NOTE: Two DSX-1 cables are required, one for transmit and one for receive. These cables are electrically identical, pin for pin, and may be used for either transmit or receive. DSX-1 cables come with 64-pin connectors on both ends. For wire-wrap connections, one connector may be cut off to provide flying wires. Cables are ordered and packaged separately.
