RAU Overview

5-4 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual

CONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C

* Exceeding the distance of copper-clad cable will result in the attached RAU becoming

non-functional. If the distance of a cable run is at its maximum and is of concern, ADC recom-

mends the use of solid copper cable to ensure successful operation.
