SA-14 Vehicle Dock
Interface Plate

Connecting Cables
Connect any peripheral and power cables to the appropriate mating port on the docking
station, and use plastic cable tie straps (Zip Ties) to secure the cables to the cable tie rail as
shown below. PMT recommends routing the cables so that they end up coming out the
right side (passenger side) of the docking station.
Once all cables are secured, PMT recommends using plastic split loom to
protect the cables as they exit the dock. It is also best to secure the cable
bundle to a point no further than 18” from the dock for additional strain
relief. Enough length needs to be left loose so that the dock can be
moved and adjusted as needed.
