Note that the RF connector on the Iridium Core 9523/9523N is not mounted directly to the FA board along
with the user interface connector. It must be attached to the FA board through a coaxial cable.
with the user interface connector. It must be attached to the FA board through a coaxial cable.
Note that for safety reasons, the RF connector on the Iridium Core 9523/9523N should not be directly
connected to an external antenna cable or cable distribution system. Paragraph 7.3 of EN60950-1:2006
safety standard requires that users are protected against high voltages that might appear on these
cables. This can be achieved either by inserting a high-voltage isolating capacitor in series with the signal
or by grounding the shield of the coaxial cable. The I-PEX connector has limited voltage capacity;
therefore protection needs to be provided on the FA board. Developers are encouraged to review the
EN60950-1:2006 standard for additional details.
