1027144–0001 Draft – Revision D.01 Terminating the IFL cable C–1RT installation
Appendix C
Terminating the IFL cable
This appendix explains in detail how to terminate the IFL cable
ends by attaching an N–type connector. It includes:
• Cable parts and terminology – page C–2
• Preparing the cable end – page C–3
• Attaching the connector – page C–6
• Applying heat–shrink tubing – page C–11
As part of the RT installation, you attach N connectors in four
locations, as shown in figure 4-3 (on page 4–5):
• One N connector at the IDU location
• Two N connectors to connect to the lightning arrestor
assembly
• One N connector at the ODU location
Important: Sound IFL cable connections are critical for
proper operation of the AIReach Broadband system.
Therefore, be very careful in terminating the cable. If you are
unsure about the success of any of the following steps, repeat
them.
Attach N connectors after you route and install the cable, not
before.
Note: The instructions below are for the connectors in HNS kit
9006284–0002. If you use a different N–type connector, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
