The intrafacility (IFL) cable specified for AIReach Broadband
installations is a Type 3 VSAT coaxial cable, HNS 1010812–0001
(1,000–foot / 305–meter spool). This cable is non plenum, CMG
UL/C (UL) approved. An acceptable alternative is LMR–400

Remote Terminal Site Preparation Guide.
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirement
applies to the IFL cable:
The IFL cable must be installed in a
metal conduit and grounded according
to NEC article 800–40. If the IFL cable will
not
