8 Follow these rules when connecting the RF Module cables:

• At each RF Module shelf, the Power (PWR) cable and two high-speed-data

cables will always be provided.

• If you are installing a module into a Non-Diversity Chassis, only one RF

cable labeled MOD N TX0/RX0 will be populated.

• High-speed data cables labeled PRIM and DIV should always either be

connected or strain relieved to adjacent cables. This protects against the

cable getting caught in the chassis door.

• If you order a Non-Diversity RF Module and are installing it in a Diversity

chassis, connect it as if it was being installed into a Non-Diversity chassis.

• Connect both high-speed data cables (PRIM and DIV) and the RF TX0/RX0

cable.

• Adhere to a minimum bend radius of 1" for all RF cables from the integrated

cable guide to the module.

• Maintain adequate strain relief distances from connection points to the

module.

• When installing dual-slot RF modules:

– The upper RF Module shelf will either not be present (factory installed

module) or will be removed prior to installation (field installed module).

– For dual-slot modules, only the RF cable labeled MOD N TX0/RX0 on the

lower module slot will be connected to the module connector TX0/RX0.

–The MOD N RX1 cable should be secured to the cable bundle using the

provided cable tie.

– Ensure that the MOD N RX1 cable and connector are secured so that they

will not be pinched or prevent the Remote door from closing.

– The Power (PWR) cable and two high-speed-data cables of the upper RF

Module slot will not be used. Connect the RF cable labeled MOD N RX1 to

the connector labeled N/C on the upper half of the double-slot module.

Use one of the provided cable ties to secure the MOD N TX0/RX0 RF cable,

both high-speed data cables and the Power (PWR) cable to the RF cable

labeled MOD N RX1, ensuring that the cable bundle will not be pinched or

prevent the Remote door from closing.
