2.5.3 DCA1000 EVM Connection

The DCA1000 EVM must be powered up with a 5-V supply and the micro-USB Ethernet cable connected to the same PC as the MMWAVEICBOOST and antenna module. A 60-pin Samtec cable (HQCD-030-02.00-SEU-TBR-1) is used to connect the 60-pin connector (J10) on the MMWAVEICBOOST to the J3 input connector on the DCA1000 EVM. Mount the four stand offs, four washers, and pan head screws to mate with the DCA1000EVM. For more information, see the setup shown in Figure 2-12.

Note:

The Samtec cable included in the kit is the HQCD-030-02.00-SEU-TBR-1. "02.00" indicates the length of the cable in inches; cables with longer length can be ordered by the user if needed.
