Accessories
Cable
R&S® KS201C
For a RX main/standby pair (RXA + RXB):
for horizontal connection of 2 receivers installed in neighbouring slots of one R&S® KR231A8 19" adapter
Cable
R&S® KS201C
For a RX main/standby pair (RXA + RXB):
for vertical connection of 2 receivers installed in the same slot of two stacked R&S® KR231A8 19" adapters
Cable
R&S® KS201C
For RX REM Bus and DC supply of R&S® VT231 (+ R&S® GT231T1), for connection of
  • Multicoupler R&S® VT231 and 3 receivers (RX5 to RX7) or
  • 4 receivers (RX1 to RX4;. RX1 = RX in slot 1

Thus 2 cables are required for a completely equipped R&S® KR231A8 19" adapter. This special flat-type bus cable has mating connectors to link two cables
Set of mating connectors
R&S® KS201
For R&S® IN201A power supply which is part of the R&S® EU/ED231A receivers or R&S® GM231A INBAND control
Note: The RF (BNC) plug type for the receive antenna cable depends on the feeder type and is therefore not included in the set. See comment on R&S® KS231.
Set of mating connectors
R&S® KS231
For R&S® VT231 VHF/UHF multicoupler IBIT (X11) and REM Bus (X15) connectors. The R&S® VT231 itself includes 7 fixed connected RF cables with mounted BNC plugs and graded lengths matching the associated receivers RX1 to RX7
Note 1: R&S® KS231 does not include RF connectors for antenna and cascading output (connector types depend on cable type)
Note 2: For RX REM Bus connection X10 (including DC supply of R&S® VT231) with associated receivers the R&S® KS201C special cable model .04 is available

1) In contrary to options, which can be additionally integrated into basic modules or equipment, auxiliary equipment for R&S® Series200 is defined to be standalone equipment for operation or service. The following types are important system components for complete VHF/UHF radio systems or for qualified maintenance, testing, troubleshooting and repair.
