APACS+™
Marshalled Termination Assembly (MTA) I/O Cable Connector

Discussion An I/O cable connector on all versions of the APACS+ Marshalled Termination
Assembly (MTA) may have an incompletely threaded connection that would
prevent the marshalling cable from being securely attached to the MTA.

This problem would be encountered immediately upon trying to connect the

cable.

A small percentage of our quarantined inventory of the component exhibited the

nonconforming thread.

MTAs with nonconforming components were produced between September 1, 2005

(Date Code 0535-xxx or 09.01.06) and June 6, 2006 (Date code 0623-xxx or
06.23.06).
