US 11,081,781 B1 · Cellular base station keyed cable connectors

Abstract

Various arrangements of a connection system are presented. The system can include radio cable ports. Each radio cable port may be communicatively connected with a different antenna of an antenna system. Each radio cable port may be keyed different such that only a particular keyed cable assembly can be mated with the radio cable port. The system can also include antenna cable ports. Each antenna cable port can be configured to be communicatively connected with a different radio of a radio system. Each antenna cable port may be keyed different such that only a particular keyed cable assembly can be mated with the antenna cable port. Each radio cable port is keyed in a same pattern as an antenna cable port with which the radio cable port is intended to be communicatively connected.
