Product Description

The VIAVI TC-201 Antenna Coupler is used on TCAS and combined TCAS and transponder directional antennas, to shield the RF signal during testing of the TCAS or transponder system. The TC-201, when used with the AVX-10K, IFR6000, IFR6015 or APM-424(V)5, supports maintenance testing in the airborne condition while working to reduce interference with air traffic control or nearby aircraft.

This TC-201 antenna coupler (EDMO# 22163085) only includes the TC-201B coupler.
