to an RF Source
WARNING: Only LGC personnel or LGC-authorized installation per-
sonnel should connect the Fusion Wideband Main Hub to its Band
associated base station or repeater. Exceeding the maximum input
power could cause failure of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub (refer to
Section 5.2 on page 5-4 for maximum power specifications). If the maximum
composite power is too high, attenuation is required.

or the hub may be damaged.
Connecting a Simplex Base Station to a Fusion Wideband Main Hub RF Band:
1. Connect an N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the transmit simplex connector on
the base station.
2. Connect the other end of the N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the DOWNLINK
connector on the Hub for the corresponding Band 1 or Band 2.
3. Connect an N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the receive simplex connector on
the base station.
4. Connect the other end of the N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the UPLINK con-
nector on the Hub for the corresponding Band 1 or Band 2.
