APPENDIXB:75‐OHMCATVCABLE
The75‐OhmCATVCable:
• connectstheIFEUtoMRAU(s)andtheMRAU(s)totheSRAU(s)
• transmits(FWD)mul
tibandandreceives(REV)IFsignals
• de
liversDCelectricalpowertotheRAUs.TheSpectrumIFEUDCvoltageoutputis+54Vdc
nominal.IftheIFEUreachesitscurrentlimit,acurrent‐limitingcircuitprotectsit.
• carriesconfigurationandstatusinformation
• uses75
type‐Fconnectorswithcaptivecenterpins.
CATVCableRequirements
BeldenCATVcableorequivalentisrequired(seeFigure2).
• FortheRG‐
6cable,useaBelden1695ACoax.
• Forthe
RG‐11cable,useaBelden7732ACoax.
