NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV cable 
should be tested to TIA-570-B specifications. 

Fusion Wideband components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only.

If outdoor installation is desired, such as a parking garage, the Fusion Wideband com-
ponents must be installed in the appropriate environmental enclosures.

Fusion Wideband equipment operates over the following:

• CATV 75 Ohm cable with F connectors

• Single-mode fiber (SMF) or multi-mode (MMF) cable with SC/APC fiber connec-

tors throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels

These cables are widely-used, industry standards for the cable TV industry. The regu-
lations and guidelines for Fusion Wideband cable installation are identical to those 
specified by the TIA/EIA 568-B standard and the TIA/EIA/570-A standards.

TE recommends solid copper center conductor, plenum-rated CATV cable and con-
nectors for conformity to building codes, standards, and to ensure stated performance 
of maximum distance and RF specifications. 

CommScope 2065V cable or equivalent is required for RG-59.

CommScope 2279V cable or equivalent is required for RG-6.

CommScope 2293K cable may also be used for RG-11. 

NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for more information related to 75 Ohm 
CATV.

TE recommends connectors with fixed centerpins to ensure proper seating and to 
eliminate oxidation, which occurs with bare center conductors. Recommended con-
nectors are as follows:

• FP-C4F for CommScope 2065V cable

• FP-C55A for CommScope 2279V cable

• FP-C71A for CommScope 2293K cable
