Cable Installation
There is one cable for Ethernet connection and two cables that connect the Indoor Unit to
the Outdoor Unit:
• A RG-6 quad shield coaxial cable for the subscriber signal (which also provides DC
power to the Outdoor Unit).
• A shielded outdoor-rated Cat 5 cable for controlling the Outdoor Unit.
CAUTION: Always power off the Indoor Unit before connecting or disconnecting the
cable from the Outdoor Unit.

door Unit to be located more than 50m (165 ft) from the Indoor Unit, the Radio Signal cable
has to be RG-6 quad shielded with copper center and the Radio Control cable has to be
CAT 5E.
