Appendix
Alternative Mounting and Connecting Methods
Your setup may require an alternative method to mount an extender to a device. For example, to mount a
coax extender (which has no thumbscrews), you’ll need to use one of these methods.
Mounting Holes
You can mount the extender via its mounting holes, as in
Figure 10,
and a custom (user-provided) bracket.
Figure 10. Mounting Holes
Adapter Cabling
If you cannot mount your extender directly to your device, you can use an EDT adapter cable or an optional
third-party cable.
Figure 11
shows EDT’s half-meter cables, with part numbers and instructions.
Figure 11. EDT extenders with EDT half-meter adapter cables
Also, for devices with SDR (mini Camera Link) connectors, EDT offers a 3M MDR26 female to SDR26 male
cable in two lengths: 1 meter (EDT part #016-013779); or 2 meters (EDT part #016-13740).
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the extender,
mounting screws must not extend
more than 0.2" into the case. See
Dimensions on page 20.
Fiber ex EDT adapter cable #016-02563
Coax ex EDT adapter cable #016-03946
With this cable, screw the fiber extender’s
thumbscrews through the end of the EDT cable and
firmly into the MDR26 connector on the cable.
With this cable, screw the screws (with washers) on
the EDT cable through the cable backshell, and firmly
into the MDR26 connector on the coax extender.
