OET extends effective date of antenna
connector requirements
On May 22, 2000 OET issued a Public Notice, DA 00-1087, clarifying
47 CFR15.203. This rule requires transmitters authorized under
Part 15 to be designed in such a way as to ensure that no antenna
other than that furnished by the responsible party be used with
the device. Typically, a manufacturer will either design a unique
connector or modify a commonly available connector to satisfy
this requirement. Under the Public Notice, we noted that several
antenna connectors, that were once considered unique, have since
become common place and would no longer be allowed under this
rule section.
However, several manufacturers have maintained that this interpretation caught them by surprise and would cause financial hardship to redesign and retool production in light of this unanticipated requirement. We conclude that additional time may be necessary to allow manufacturers to prepare for this change.
Therefore, we are extending the effective date of Public Notice, DA 00-1087, until October 1, 2000.

This FCC Pubic Notice sets forth the requirements and policies for the authorization of unlicensed, low power "transmitter modules" for operation under Part 15 of the Commission’s Rules.
