7-2 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual
CONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev A
NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV cable
should be tested to TIA-570-B specifications.
7.1.1 Component Location Requirements
Fusion Wideband components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only.
If outdoor installation is desired, such as a parking garage, the Fusion Wideband com-
ponents must be installed in the appropriate environmental enclosures.
7.1.2 Cable and Connector Requirements
Fusion Wideband equipment operates over the following:
• CATV 75 Ohm cable with F connectors
• Single-mode fiber (SMF) or multi-mode (MMF) cable with SC/APC fiber connec-
tors throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels
These cables are widely-used, industry standards for the cable TV industry. The regu-
lations and guidelines for Fusion Wideband cable installation are identical to those
specified by the TIA/EIA 568-B standard and the TIA/EIA/570-A standards.
LGC Wireless recommends solid copper center conductor, plenum-rated CATV
cable and connectors for conformity to building codes, standards, and to ensure stated
performance of maximum distance and RF specifications.
CommScope 2065V cable or equivalent is required for RG-59.
CommScope 2279V cable or equivalent is required for RG-6.
CommScope 2293K cable may also be used for RG-11.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for more information related to 75 Ohm
CATV.
LGC Wireless recommends connectors with fixed centerpins to ensure proper seating
and to eliminate oxidation, which occurs with bare center conductors. Recommended
connectors are as follows:
CANARE Connectors
• FP-C4F for CommScope 2065V cable
• FP-C55A for CommScope 2279V cable
• FP-C71A for CommScope 2293K cable
