Required Installation Accessories
One coaxial cable-to-housing connector is required for each feeder port connection.
A housing-to-housing connector may be required to connect the tap or passive
directly to the input or output of another device. When taps that are not
self-terminating are used for end-of-feeder line, one 75 Ω line terminator is required
to terminate the feeder line at the output port.
