CONFIDENTIAL D-620TBD-0-20 Rev A
NOTE: 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, LGC recommends the use of solid copper
cable to ensure successful operation.
5.2 Remote Access Unit Connectors
5.2.1 50 Ohm Type-N Connector
The RAU has one female type-N connector. The connector is a duplexed RF
input/output port that connects to a standard 50Ω passive antenna using coaxial cable.
5.2.2 75 Ohm Type-F Connector
The RAU has one type-F female connector that connects it to a Fusion Hub using
CATV 75 Ohm cable. Use RG-59, 6, or 11 solid copper center conductor cables.
NOTE: For system performance, it is important that you use only low loss,
solid copper center conductor CATV cable with quality F connectors that use
captive centerpin conductors. Refer to Appendix A for specific information.
