Connecting Multiple Fusion Wideband Main Hubs to a Duplex Repeater or BTS
CAUTION! Only TE personnel or TE-authorized installation personnel should connect the Fusion Wideband
Main Hub to a Base Station or repeater. Exceeding the maximum input power could cause failure
of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub (refer to Appendix A: Cables and Connectors” on page 191 for
maximum power specifications). If the maximum composite power
is too high, atten
uation is
required.
1 Make sure you have the following components:
2 Connect the circulator to the repeater or Base Station us
ing one N-male to N-male coaxial
jumper cable.
3 Connect each po
wer combiner/splitter to the circulator using one
N-male to N-male coaxial
jumper cable per combiner/splitter.
4 Connect the power com
biner/splitter to the Hubs using N-male to N-male coaxial jumper
cable, in the following order:
from the first Hub’s Uplink (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to
the first power
combiner/splitter
f
rom the first Hub’s DOWNLINK (Ban
d 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the second power
combiner/splitter
from the sec
ond Hub’s UPLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the first power
combiner/splitter
from the second Hub’s DOWNLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port
to the second power
combiner/splitter
CAUTION! Connections should not cross Bands. For example, all Band 1 connections should be made to the
same hybrid power combiner/splitter connected to the repeater BTS that matches the Band 1
frequency.
5 After connecting and powering on the Hub, check all Hub LEDs to ensure that the system is
operating properly.
6 Make sure the Main Hub is grounded. The
warranty does not cover damage caused when
an ungrounded Hub is powered on.
NOTE: Use a 50 ohm terminator on any unused power combiner/splitter ports.
Quantity Item

combiner/splitters
2 Circulator
1 N-male to N-male coaxial jumper cable between each circulator and the repeater or Base Station
N-male to N-male coaxial jumper cable between each circulator and power combiner/splitter
