Chapter 6
Cabling and connections
This chapter illustrates where the ODU ground, transmit, and 
receive connectors are located; shows how to route the transmit 
and receive cables at the ODU; and explains how to connect the 
transmit and receive cables to the radio assembly. You must 
connect the transmit, receive, and ground cables before you can 
point the antenna (Chapter 7 – Pointing the antenna).
The chapter includes these sections:
Previous cabling work
Before you can complete the steps explained in this chapter, you 
must route and terminate the transmit and receive cables from the 
IDU to the ODU.
For a list of approved cables for the IFL between the antenna and 
the remote terminal, see the Field Service Bulletin (FSB), IFL 
Cable, Approved List (with lengths) for DW7x00, DW60xx, and 
DW40xx Domestic Installations 
(FSB_060316_01A). This FSB 
lists the maximum cable length for each approved cable type, for 
both 1-W and 2-W radios.
How the cables are run depends on the specific installation site. 
Route and connect the cables according to your training and best 
practices.    
CAUTION
Coaxial connectors and cable can corrode if exposed to 
moisture. Use only
 compression type connectors, and 
weatherproof them with dielectric grease and weatherproof 
tape. 
Note:
For connector requirements, see the Hughes FSB, 
HNS Broadband Requirements for RG-6 and RG-11 IFL
