RF and GPS cable locations
Airvana recommends installing the RF and GPS cables into the positions in the Rox System cabinet seal that
are shown in Figure 20
. This enables determination of which cable serves which function after the Rox
System cabinet seal has been installed even if cable labels are missing. This recommendation is for a three
sector node, with two RF antennas per sector, and in a redundant configuration requiring two GPS cables.

side and the external side of the Rox System cabinet seal.
