The active capture ring that extends outward from the spacecraft captured the passive mating ring on the space station's APAS-95 connection on the Pressurized Mating Adapter. The capture ring aligned them, pulled them together and deployed 12 structural hooks, latching the two systems with an airtight seal.
NASA Docking System (active androgynous variant on top, permanently passive variant on the bottom). [citation needed] Mechanical latches (visible on the guide petals) in the active ring clamp onto the passive section for contact and capture IDAs shown connected to PMA-2 and PMA-3 on the Harmony node.
During a docking maneuver, one vehicle assumes the "active" role and the other vehicle assumes the "passive" role. A particular IDSS port can be manufactured to be able to act in the active role, the passive role, or either role. If a port (e.g., the ones on the ISS) is passive-only, then the other spacecraft must implement the active role.
Passive cables are copper cables that do not have an electronic circuit, and are prone to data degradation. Passive cables are also typically bi-directional, while active cables that convert a signal usually only work in one direction. There are two main types of signal conditioning used in active electrical cables: re-driver-based and re-timer.
Latches and bolts on the active CBM (ACBM) side pull fittings and floating nuts on the passive CBM (PCBM) side to align and join the two. After the vestibule is pressurized, crew members clear a passage between modules by removing some CBM components. Utility connectors are installed between facing bulkheads, with a closeout panel to cover them.
