Follow these steps to connect the switchplate to 
the antenna. 

a. First dress the data and power cables from 

the antenna. Strip back the insulation of each 

wire approximately 1/4" (6 mm) and gently 

twist each wire to ensure a good electrical 

connection.

b. Connect the data cable from the antenna to 

the terminal board on the switchplate’s 

maintenance port assembly (see Figure 24). 

Be sure to match the wire colors with the 
terminal board label.

 

Tighten the terminal 

screws to secure all wires in place.

c. Connect the power cable from the antenna to 

the switchplate’s power output terminals (see 

Figure 25). Later, you will also connect a 

power cable from these terminals to the MCP.

Figure 24:  Switchplate Wiring - Antenna Data Cable

The diagram refers to wires by body color/

stripe color. For example, “Brown/White” 

means the brown wire with the white stripe.

Do not connect the data cable’s drain wire 

(shield) to anything. You can simply snip it 

from the cable.
