Connecting Cables in a Single-Bay RF Module Installation
1 PositionthecablessothattheyareundertherightedgeoftheRFModule,pointingup.
2 Followtheruleslistedin"UnderstandingRFCableRules”onpage26.
3 ConnecttheRFModulecables,intheordershownbelow.Asyouwork,refertothegraphicthatcorresponds
totheRFModulebeinginstalledintoasinglebayofthePRU:foraSingle-BayRFModule,referto
Figure31
onpage102,andforanHDMRFModule,refertoFigure32onpage103andTable24onpage104.
a ConnecttheMODNTX0/RX0cabletotheRFModule(theRFcablesandconnectorsarereferredtoas
MODNTX0/RX0whereNequalsA,B,C,orD).
i InserttheN-StylePlugoftheMODNTX0/RX0cableintotheTX0/RX0N-StyleJackoftheRFModule.
ii Turnthecouplingnutoftheplugclockwisetothreadontothejackandfinger-tighten.
iii Torquecouplingnutto8±1in-lbstoensurefullconnection.
NOTE: Insufficient torque applied to RF Module connections can result in elevated insertion/return loss and
higher than normal VSWR reported by the system.
b ConnecttheMODNTX1/RX1cabletotheRFModule(theRFcablesandconnectorsarereferredtoas
MODNTX1/RX1whereNequalsB,C,orD).
i IfaTX1/RX1RFModuleconnectionisavailable,inserttheN-StylePlugoftheMODNTX1/RX1cable
intotheTX1/RX1N-StyleJackoftheRFModule.IfRFModuleconnectionisnotavailable,constrain
theMODNTX1/RX1cabletoaccompanyingcablesusingatiewrapsoitcannotbepinchedorprevent
theRemoteUnitdoorfromclosing.
ii Turnthecouplingnutoftheplugclockwisetothreadontothejackandfinger-tighten.
