MP48-A antenna cable replacement
For WWII military radio installations
Replacement cable for MP48-A antenna base, as used on WWII military vehicles equipped with radio sets. The MP48-A is the simplified variant of the standard MP48 antenna base, recognisable by the central coaxial cable with compression plug instead of the larger Amphenol connector.

Application
Used in combination with MP48-A antenna base on military vehicles equipped with radio sets SCR-508, SCR-528 or SCR-608. The MP48-A was produced from 1944 as a simplified variant of the standard MP48. Suitable for restorations where the original cable is damaged or missing.
Installation notes
The cable runs through the centre of the MP48-A base and is secured at the bottom with the compression plug. Ensure correct earthing of the cable sheath at the antenna base. Prevent damage from sharp edges - use insulating grommets (IN-101 or IN-111) where the cable passes through bodywork or housings. Allow sufficient slack for movement of shock-mounted equipment.
Compatibility
ONLY for MP48-A antenna base. NOT compatible with standard MP48 (which has large Amphenol connector and binding post). The MP48-A has a central cable with compression plug - this is the key distinguishing feature. Early WWII vehicles often had the standard MP48, later production (1944+) used the MP48-A or AB-15 mast bases.
Historical context
The MP48-A was introduced as a simplified version of the original Ohio Brass MP48 antenna base. Due to the simplified construction with coaxial cable and compression plug, the MP48-A was cheaper to produce for the mass production of radio vehicles during WWII.
