Some applications require greater precision
than that possible with the OEM7 VCTCXO,
in which case you may need to connect the

Set aside.
2. Thread the TNC or BNC end of coaxial cable through the bracket from Dev
Board side to the outside (either opening).
3. Slide the washer and then the nut over the TNC or BNC end of the protrud-
ing coaxial cable and slide up against the external side of the bracket.
4. Hand tighten nut to secure the cable and connector to the bracket.
5. Connect antenna to receiver card or EVENT to the Dev Board.
6. Continue to Installation & Powering Steps section or repeat as needed for
second cable.
Attach the MCX, MMCX or MMBX connector of the coaxial cable(s)
to the receiver BEFORE securing the receiver cards to the Dev Board
with the standos and screws.

2. Turn the Dev Board right side up and place on a at stable surface.
3. Ensure the steps listed in the Mounting the Coaxial Cable into Bracket
section are complete before progressing to Step 4.
4. If using, make the connections/attachments for the ANT/OSC cables using
the TNC/BNC end of the coaxial cable and connect to receiver card or Dev
Board as indicated in Coaxial Cable Assembly table.
5. If needed, attach the Interposer card to the Dev Board using the provided
standos and screws as indicated in the Stando Use table on the other
side of this sheet.
For the OEM7600, attach the OEM7600 to the OEM7600 Interposer board
using M3 screws before attaching the Interposer Board to the Dev Board.
