Yaesu SCU-66L 3 m Separation Cable for FTX-1 Optima and SPA-1

The Yaesu SCU-66L is a genuine separation cable specifically designed for the Yaesu FTX-1 series.

It increases the distance between the compact control and transceiver unit, known as the Field Head, and the SPA-1 RF power amplifier supplied with the FTX-1 Optima.

With a length of approximately 3 metres, it provides greater flexibility when arranging the station. The Field Head can be positioned within easy reach of the operator, while the SPA-1 can be installed elsewhere with improved ventilation or closer to the power supply and antenna connections.

This arrangement is particularly useful in mobile installations where space near the operator is limited, as well as in fixed stations where the operating panel needs to be physically separated from the RF amplifier.

The cable carries the required connections between the Field Head and SPA-1, maintaining the integration and operation specified by the manufacturer.

Important note

The SCU-66L is specifically designed to connect the FTX-1 Field Head to the SPA-1. It should not be used as a generic cable or connected to other equipment unless compatibility has been expressly confirmed.

Disconnect the equipment and power supply before installation. Avoid excessively bending the cable, applying force to its connectors or routing it close to very hot surfaces.

For installations requiring a shorter cable, the SCU-66 version is available with a length of approximately 1.5 metres.
