2.0 Equipment Mounting and Installation

The following general recommendations should be adhered to for optimal performance.

1. The remote units should be mounted so the heatsink avoids direct sunlight. This

will extend the life of these units.

2. The remote units must be mounted upright so that the connectors are on the

underside. This will help prevent a buildup of moisture inside the cabinet.

3. The hub and remotes are equipped with N-type antenna connectors. Connectors

are located on the bottom of the remote cabinet.

4. Ensure that adequate room has been allocated for the bending radius of the

cables. Refer to the cable manufacturer’s specifications for the allowable cable-bend

radius.

5. Ensure that adequate room is allowed for the opening and closing of the

remote unit door. See the specification table for dimensions of the cabinet.

2.1 Hub Mounting

The hub should be mounted as close as possible to the donor BTS. The 19” (48.3 cm)

rack mount version is shown in Figure 4. The alternate NEMA 4 weatherproof wall

mounted enclosure is shown in Figure 5. Observe all environmental specifications for

the hub to avoid damage from moisture, heat, cold, etc.
