Constructing Long Cable Segments
To construct a cable segment longer than the standard maximum
cable spool length (over 1,000 feet or 300 m for Belden 9259 and
over 2,000 feet or 600 m for Belden 8213), use a BNC jackĆtoĆjack
inĆline splicing adapter. Use the following procedure to construct a
long cable segment:
