GPS EXTENSION CABLES

PFD Systems now offers extension cables for those applications requiring additional distance between the KIWI-OSD and GPS units (observatory owners take note). The cables are available in 3, 5, and 10, 15, 20, and 25 meter lengths. (Longer custom lengths available upon request)

The standard cables have a male/female DIN-5 connector on each end; shielded 26 AWG stranded wires; ground terminated on each end through the "common" ground pin on each connector. 

Custom cables over 25m are 24 AWG.

NOTE: This cable is specifically designed for use with the KIWI-OSD and KIWI-GPS units and is not meant to be a general purpose DIN extension cable. Use with other equipment is not recommended.
