2.4 Choosing a location for the CU
The CU location is optimized, after the DU location and orientation have been optimized,
the DU has been mounted, and the copper core coaxial cable has been pulled from the
DU to the location requiring improved coverage.
Generally, the CU should be mounted in a location as far as possible from the DU, while
being within the area where you require improved coverage and within reach of the
maximum allowed cable length (see Table 1 on page 8)
If mounted on a wall, the coverage pattern for an open area with minimum obstructing
walls is as shown in Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7: Coverage pattern in front of CU
When mounting the CU on a ceiling, the unit should be positioned in the middle of the
area to be covered side-to-side, and off-centered front-to-back. Figure 2.8 shows the
coverage area when the CU is mounted closer to the center of room or if mounted on a
typical interior drywall partition. The back coverage area is reduced further if the partition
wall is constructed of a dense material such as concrete or brick.
