maximum permitted DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and
outer conductors) are provided in the following table.
To comply with the required screening effectiveness requirement, it is
recommended to use double shielded cables. The following table provides details
on maximum length for some popular cables.
2.1.4 Pole Mounting the ODU
The ODU can be mounted on a 1" to 4" pole using one of the following options:
Special clamps and threaded rods are supplied with each unit. There are two
pairs of threaded holes on the back of the unit, enabling to use the clamps for
mounting the unit on diverse pole diameters.
The protrusions with grooves on the top backsides of the unit, and the
protrusion on the bottom backside, enable the use of 9/16" wide metal bands
(not included with the package) to secure the unit to a pole.
