RET Cables provide a direct connect option from the Master Control Unit (MCU) to a RET module. These cables are offered in a variety of lengths, with the shorter lengths being available to “daisy chain” multiple RET modules together at the top of the tower or building. By connecting the modules together, you reduce the number or cables required from the MCU to the antennas.
RET stands for Remote Electrical Tilt and is a system that makes it possible to adjust the electrical tilt of an antenna remotely. The system is mainly used for mobile radio antennas, for example to optimise the alignment of the mobile radio network at hotspots - like events.

RET Cables with Waterproof D Sub
This AIG multiwire cable is used to connect the Remote Radio Unit with the Remote Control Unit and to transmit the base station signals for controlling the RET antenna and offers protection to IP67.
Variations
RET cables with waterproof D Subs can be required depending on the OEM interconnect. Variation 1 (RETD/) uses a rectangular formed O-ring to create the IP67 seal, which seals directly against the mating half. Variation 2 (RETK/) uses a skirt to create the IP67 seal to allow for a raised mating half.
Connector Style
8 pin male and female connectors according to IEC 60130-9. Fully soldered contacts. Connector bodies constructed from nickel plated brass. Male contacts are silver plated brass. Female contacts are constructed from silver plated bronze. Plastic components PBT (UL94 V-0).
1 x twisted pair 0.25 mm2, 2 x power cores and 1 ground core 0.75 mm2. Outer sheath in black PUR with overall diameter 8 mm. Halogen free, flame retardant and UV stable.
