Routing the cables at
the ODU
Route the coaxial transmit and receive cables at the ODU as
follows:
1. Route the transmit cable (marked with blue electrical tape)
over the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly and behind the
reflector to the back of the transmitter, in a configuration
similar to that shown in
Figure 38.
Do not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the
cable manufacturer.
2. For the transmit cable, leave a 152-inch service loop (12 ft
8
inches), secured to the mast, or Az/El mount assembly. This
allows 10 ft for a service loop plus 32 inches for installation
of a future Ka-band radio upgrade.
Do not leave the service loop on the roof or other mounting
surface.
Do not block access to the adjustment nuts on the canister
and Az/El mount assembly.
