If your STRATA TX System contains both a TXU and a TCU, the
System allows you to power the TXU using DC power supplied
from the TCU or allows you to power the TCU using DC power
from the TXU. This DC power is superimposed on the coaxial
cable between the TCU and the TXU. This DC power option is
used when the TCU and the TXU must be deployed in two
separate locations.
