TM 9-2350-274-BD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM 11-13. CABLES ARE TOO SHORT; BDAR INSTALLATION General Information: This procedure gives methods for connecting two or more cables together to make the desired cable length. This procedure is for CX-4723 cable. Other types of cables can be extended using similar methods. Limitations: ● Preferred method - none ● Alternate methods - possible lowered volume Personnel/Time Required: ● 1 soldier ● 20 minutes Materials/Tools: ● Preferred method: Box, control, C-10456 or C-2298 VRC ● Alternate method: Gun, soldering Solder, rosin-core Other Option(s): o See other methods in electrical chapter of TM 9-2350-276-BD Procedural Steps: 1. The preferred method uses a junction box such as a C-2298 control box between 2. 3. 4. two CX-4723 cables. Another method is fabricating a junction by removing the 3-801 and 3-804 connectors from a C-2298 control box. Solder jumper wires between the corresponding connector pins. Insulate the jumper wires and the rear of the connectors. A less desirable method is to remove one connector from each cable and splice the corresponding wires from the two cables together. Insulate the splice. Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is complete, as soon as practicable, repair vehicle using standard maintenance procedures. 11-16
