a CATV cable from one of the IFEU FWD Module IF OUT connectors (1 - 8) to the MRAU FWD IF

IN connector.

b Confirm that the MRAU FWD IF IN LED is yellow, which indicates a correct physical connection.

c Connect a CATV cable from the IFEU REV Module IF IN connector (1 - 8) to the MRAU REV IF OUT

antenna element. The 850 MHz band must be ~20 feet away from the 800/1900 SRAU’s passive antenna.

7 Use one of the following 6’ and 20’ CATV RG6 jumpers, available for purchase from TE Connectivity, to

connect an MRAU to SRAUs.
