3 Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on each RAU using coaxial cable with the least

amount of loss possible. (See “Omni Antenna Specifications” on page 27 for information on the Omni Antenna

ports.)

Connect the IFEU to the MRAU

NOTE: The IFEU should be powered up before starting this procedure; see the InterReach Spectrum Expansion Module

Group Installation Guide (TECP-77-167).

4 Follow these rules for the CATV cables when connecting the IFEU to the MRAU:

• The FWD and REV cables should be close to the same length.

• The FWD and REV cables should be the same cable type (both RG6 or both RG11).

• A pair of CATV cables connects each MRAU to the IFEU. The IFEU REV Module IF IN port and the IFEU

FWD Module IF OUT port must match. For example, if IFEU REV Module IF IN Port 3 is used, use IFEU

FWD Module IF OUT Port 3.

• Refer

to “75-Ohm CATV Cable Requirements and Specifications” on page 22 for information on maximum

RG-6 or RG-11 CATV cable lengths.

5 Test the cable termination for each CATV cable before installing it.
