DX Engineering Yaesu Rotator Cable Assemblies
DX Engineering Yaesu Rotator Cable Assemblies are plug and play ready with Yaesu connectors installed, eliminating the trouble and time of soldering wires onto tiny connector pins. These rugged, yet flexible cables are built to last with heavy duty stranded copper 18 AWG 6-conductor covered with our industry leading exclusive direct-bury polyethylene (PE) black jacket that is impervious to water and highly resistant to sunlight UV. The high quality metal exterior connectors installed mate to the Yaesu rotator units listed. That Yaesu 7-pin plug with screw-on shell (1.030 in. OD) is installed on one end and the 6-pin rectangular keyed connector (0.765 in. max. diagonal) is installed on the other end, each with weather-sealed heat-shrink. Cable assemblies are available in a 10 ft. length for bench testing and for regular runs in 50 ft., 75 ft., 100 ft., 150 ft., 200 ft., 250 ft., and 300 ft. lengths. All cables have six conductors at 18-gauge for complete, full-length compatibility, even though some Yaesu rotators use only 4 or 5 conductors. DX Engineering Yaesu Rotator Cables are compatible with these Yaesu models: G-450A G-450ADC G-800DXA G-1000DXA G-2800DXA G-5500A* G-5500DC* *Azimuth Elevation Rotators require two cables. User will cut off 6-pin connectors and strip leads for the screw terminals on the back of the Azimuth-Elevation controller. NOTE: Cable may be split, prepped and connected to surge protection (DXE-CLTB-M or DXE-IS-RCT) at the installation point of the protector, typically at the grounded tower base. Optional dielectric grease, sealing tape and electrical tape are recommended parts. These types of weather sealing tapes are easily installed and removed on the rotator connector. Save yourself the hassle of soldering rotator connectors onto cables. Order a spare to have on hand as a replacement for an existing system! DX Engineering Yaesu Rotator Cable Assemblies are ready for your Yaesu rotator system installation.

DX Engineering RT4500HD Rotator Control Extension Cables
DX Engineering RT4500HD Rotator Control Extension Cables are premium pre-assembled cables with the appropriate 4-pin mating connectors installed for the DX Engineering RT4500HD Rotator. They eliminate the time-consuming task of soldering two additional optional connectors onto a long control cable. Designed for durability, these 4-conductor cable assemblies are rugged, yet flexible and are built to last with heavy duty stranded copper conductors and industry leading direct-bury polyethylene (PE) black jacket that is impervious to water and highly resistant to sunlight UV. Two 12AWG wires are for DC supply to the rotator motor and two 18AWG wires are for the rotator Pulse Sensor. One end of the cable features an interlocking weather-sealed 4-pin DXE-LP20-F female connector that mates with the RT4500HD rotator pigtail male connector. The 4-pin DXE-LP20-M cable mount male connector on the opposite end of this extension cable is intended to be connected to the controller pigtail. The DXE-LP20-F Rotator Control Line cable-mount female connector supplied with the RT4500HD, along with any convenient length of DXE-CW1812OR Heavy-Duty Spec Rotator Cable (sold separately), can be used to make a permanent pigtail with appropriate ring terminals for the screw terminal connections on the rotator controller. The use of the pigtail and this Rotator Control Extension Cable with mating connectors supports easy disconnection of the controller for additional surge protection and for simplified equipment repositioning. In this arrangement, the female receptacle connectors are appropriately used to supply power. Cable mounted male connector exposed pins are never energized when they are disconnected from their mate, thereby eliminating an accidental short circuit to ground. NOTE: At the appropriate point along the run, this cable may be cut, split, prepared and terminated for connection to a grounded surge protection device. Control Line Surge Protection, such as the DXE-CLTB-M or DXE-IS-RCT, is recommended to be installed at the grounding point of the tower base.
