4.3.3 Coaxial Antenna Cable
The Iridium SATCOM System uses an RF cable designed to cover the frequency range from 1565
MHz to 1626.5 MHz for Iridium transmit / receive operations and GPS reception. It is a low-loss,
aircraft-grade cable that will be mounted in the aircraft fuselage. This cable provides the
interconnection between the Iridium SATCOM System Satellite Data Unit and the Iridium Antenna.
One end of the coaxial cable has an ARINC Size 5 coaxial contact installed and the other end has a
TNC male connector.
