Alignment Brackets
Mechanically adjustable horizontal and vertical hub alignment brackets for aligning the
hub’s integrated antenna to the desired coverage area. A 7/16” wrench is the only tool
required for mounting and aligning the hub.
RF W/AC
An AC surge protected SCTE compliant female F-type connector for the RF and AC
power connection to the cable network. The Hub requires an input RF power level at the
port of between 0 dBmV and +30 dBmV with a minimum modulation error ratio (MER)
of 35 dB for 256 QAM and 31 dB for 64 QAM. The input line power must be between 50
VAC and 110 VAC with a line frequency from 50 Hz through 60 Hz.
ETHERNET
A weather-proof RJ-45 connector for connecting a lap top PC for hub configuration and
monitoring during installation or troubleshooting and for powering hub using 24 VDC
power over Ethernet (PoE) per the table below:
Pin Function US modern T-568A
1 Ethernet Tx+ green-white
2 Ethernet Tx- green
3 Ethernet Rx+ orange-white
4 PoE - lower voltage (+) blue
5 PoE - lower voltage (+) blue -white
6 Ethernet Rx- orange
7 PoE - higher voltage (-) brown-white
8 PoE - higher voltage (-) brown
FUSE
An SCTE compliant replaceable 1 ampere fuse providing over current protection for the
RF W/AC port.
U/S Tap
An SCTE compliant female F-type connector providing a -20 dB tap for monitoring the
upstream channel.
