Chapter 4
Cabling and connections
This chapter illustrates where the ODU transmit, receive, and
ground connectors are located; shows how to route the transmit
and receive cables at the ODU, and explains how to connect the
transmit and receive cables to the radio assembly. You must
connect the transmit, receive, and ground cables before you can
point the antenna (Pointing the antenna on page 37).
The chapter includes these sections:
• Routing the cables at the ODU on page 32
• Connecting the transmit and receive cables on page 33
• Ground connection on page 35
Before you perform the steps explained in this chapter, you must
route and terminate the transmit and receive cables from the IDU
to the ODU. For cable specifications and cabling between the
IDU and ODU, see the IDU instruction manual. How the cables
are run depends on the specific installation site. Route and
connect the cables according to your training and best practices.
CAUTION
Coaxial cable can corrode if exposed to moisture. Use
weatherproof connectors. Do not use push-on connectors.
