RFCableRules
• WheninstallingaDiversity,MIMOorDual‐BandRFModule,bothRFcableslabeledMODN
TX0/RX0andMODNTX1/RX1shallbeconnectedtotheN‐StyleconnectionsoftheRF
Module.
• WheninstallingaNon‐DiversityorSISORFModule:
– TheMODNTX0/RX0cableshallbeconnectedtothesingleavailableN‐StyleRF
ConnectionoftheRFModule.
– TheMODNTX1/RX1cableshallbeconstrainedtotheexistingcablesusingatiewrapor
similarlyacceptedfastenersoitcannotbepinchedorpreventthePRUdoorfromclosing.
DonotcutorattempttootherwiseremovethisRFCable.
• RFcablesarehand‐formable;however,cablesmustadheretoaminimumbendradiusof
1‐inchfromtheoutletoftheintegratedcableguidetotherespectiveN‐StyleRFconnection
ontheRFModule.
RFModuleCablesforSingle‐Card,Dual‐Card,andHDMRFModules
TheRFcableandconnectorlabelsalsocorrespondtotheRFModuleslotsinthePRUchassis,
where
MODAisthebottomslotandMODDisthetopslot.Intheinstallationsteps,theRFcables
andconnectorsarereferredtoas
MODNTX0/RX0andasMODNTRX1whereNequalsA,B,C,orD.
ThecablesandconnectorshavecorrespondinglabelsasshowninTable7forSingle‐Card,
Dual‐Card,andHDMRFModules.
