MA 2000 provides an entry level cost effective solution for current services and support for
future services from the same or different operators. Support for additional bands is
implemented by an RU module and RU specific hardware designed to prevent interference with
other existing bands in the coverage area.
For support for additional services, connect the corresponding RU and hardware (Cavity Filter,
Duplexer, etc.) to the 8x4 Module and to the external coax infrastructure.
NOTE: It is required to order an Accessory Kit for each new unit to be added to the installation. The kit
includes cables for connecting the RU 2000 or MA 1200 add on units to the required filters. Because of the
differences in cable length requirements, the accessory kit differs for units designated to be installed in
2000 Cabinets and for those designated to be installed with MA 2000 Lite systems. Be sure to order the
appropriate kit as detailed in section
1.3 - MA 2000 Element Models under the appropriate section.
This chapter provides several examples of the most common configurations and their
connections. As systems are upgraded, refer to the provided diagrams for a description of the
connections between the Remote Units (referred to as RU or RU 2000), the interface
devices (Filters, etc.) and the 4x8 Combiner.
