1.2.1.1 Off-Site
Planning and Design
• Determine the locations of the central stations and the equipment closet(s). Mark the
scaled floor plan with all component locations and the areas of coverage.
• Draw an antenna schematic, including all components and approximate cable lengths.
• Compute all the wiring runs and attempt to minimize cable length. It is not necessary to
balance cable lengths because each leg of the antenna system can be different cable
lengths.
Determine the cumulative dB loss of each leg of the antenna system.
Belden 1695A cable 5.5 dB per 100 ft @ 608 MHZ
Belden 7732A cable 4 dB per 100 ft @ 608 MHZ
2/1 Splitter 5.7 dB @ 608 MHz (P/N 0670-00-0748-01)
Low Loss 2/1 Splitter 3.5 dB @ 608 MHZ (P/N 0992-00-0199-01)
