Module:
– ConnecttheMODNTX0/RX0cabletothesingleavailableN-StyleRFConnectionoftheRF
Module.
– ConstraintheMODNTX1/RX1cablewiththeexistingcablesusingatiewraporsimilarly

TheRFcableandconnectorlabelscorrespondtotheRFModulebaysintheRemoteUnitchassis,where
MOD AisthebottombayandMOD Disthetopbay.
• ThecablesandconnectorshavecorrespondinglabelsasshowninTable16onpage27for
Single-Card,Dual-Card,andHDMRFModules.ForDual-Bayinstallations,theRFcablesand
connectorsarelabeledasMOD N TX0/RX0andMOD N TX1/RX1,whereNreferstothetopbayofthe
double-bayinstallation.Forexample:
– ForaDual-BayinstallationinaQuad-BaychassisinwhichtheRFModuleisinstalledintheBay
DandBayCcombination,theRFcablesandconnectorsarelabeledasMOD D TX0/RX0andMOD
D TX1/RX1.
– ForaDual-BayinstallationinaTri-BaychassisinwhichtheRFModuleisinstalledintheBayB
andBayAcombination,theRFcablesandconnectorsarelabeledasMOD B TX0/RX0andMOD B
TX1/RX1.
