2.4 Five-Band System Installation
This section describes the connections for a five-band system. The 5-band system consists of two
units dedicated to this application: Master MBF-40 and Slave MBF-40. All the services are routed to
the Master unit via the optic fibre, where the Master and Slave are managed as a single unit via the
Master connections.
The internal design and external connections of these two units are specific to 5-band System
Installation and as such, are described in this section.
The procedure for assembling of the bracket (and fan-hood where relevant), as well as the wall
preparation and mounting of the units is identical to procedures described in previous sections.
2.4.1 Master Slave System Cable Requirements
In addition to the items provided in the Master/Slave Repeater package, you will require the
following cables for interconnecting the Master Slave units:
• x2 high power 50ohm coaxial (jumper) cables with N male connectors on both side
• x1 low loss, high quality 50ohm jumper cable with 7/16 male connectors on both side
• x1 standard straight CAT5 (or above) Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors on both side
NOTE: The length of the cables depend on the distance that the Master and Slave units are mounted
from each other.
