B.4.3 Cable Installation
Take care during cable installation. Install the cables using the most direct route and
secure with clamps and ties. Avoid all sharp bends.
Cable connectors used in outdoor applications shall be sealed to avoid leakage,
particularly N-type connectors. Moisture can seep into junctions at the plug end of the
connector, between the fixed and movable parts, and where the cable connects to the
connector. Signal attenuation and possible loss of signal can occur in the presence of
moisture. All cable junctions shall be sealed with a self-amalgamating tape, such as 3M,
Type 23 Scotch Self-Amalgamating tape, or equivalent, including military style (MS)
connectors.
WARNING
The Downconverter RF input connector is wired to supply DC voltage to
an LNA. This voltage is capable of damaging any test equipment
connected to the connector. Do not connect test equipment to this
connector without a coaxial DC block between the connector and the test
equipment.
NOTE: All cables connecting to the CSAT unit
connectors located on the bottom surface are
customer-supplied.
