Installation
Connecting the RF Cables to the Node Housing
Follow these steps to connect the RF cables.
1 Determine which ports receive an RF cable for your configuration.
2 The length of the RF connector center pin is critical to proper operation. The pin length must be 1.6 inches
(4.064 cm). Trim pin if necessary before installation. See
Note
Assemble each RF connector to its cable according to manufacturer's instructions.
3 Remove the sealing plug of each port to which cables connect. Note that Ports 1, 3, 4, and 6 have the
option of a vertical or horizontal connection.
4 Insert the appropriate coaxial connector of each RF cable to the desired housing port and torque to the
manufacturer's specification. Do not exceed recommended torque.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each RF port used.
6 Continue to
Applying Power to the Node
The node requires input power of 45 to 90 V AC from an external power source. This power is supplied
through one or more of the RF cables.
The powering configuration is flexible and can be changed to meet most network requirements. Power direction
is configured by installing AC shunts for the ports through which you want to pass AC power. An AC
segmentable shunt is provided to configure power direction between the two sides of the node.
The following schematic diagram illustrates node powering.
