Routine Operation 3-6MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
VID MON Connector The VIDEO MON 75 ohm BNC female
connector provides a video output for external monitoring
purposes.
SDI/ASI Connector The SDI/ASI 75 ohm BNC female
connector provides SDI and ASI inputs to the unit.
ANT CONTROL Connector The ANT CONTROL 7-pin male
Weidmuller connector provides control for antenna polarization,
antenna band selection, and the RF switch. The connector also
provides DC power for the antenna and the RF switch.
RFU 1 Connector The RFU 1 connector will either be a Triax,
type “N”, or TNC, depending upon the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. This connector provides 70 MHz IF output to
RF unit 1.
If your IDU contains a Triax RFU 1 connector, the RFU POWER
OUT connector will not be present. If your IDU contains a Triax
connector, 70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 1 and DC power to
RFU 1 will be supplied via DC on coax from the IDU.
If your IDU contains a type “N” or TNC RFU 1 connector, 70 MHz
IF will be supplied to RFU 1 and DC power to RFU 1 will be
supplied via the RFU POWER OUT connector.
RFU 2 Connector The RFU 2 connector will either be a Triax,
type “N”, or TNC, depending upon the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. This connector provides 70 MHz IF output to
RF unit 2.
If your IDU contains a Triax RFU 2 connector, the RFU POWER
OUT connector will not be present. If your IDU contains a Triax
connector, 70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 2 and DC power to
RFU 2 will be supplied via DC on coax from the IDU.
If your MTX5000 contains a type “N” or TNC RFU 1 connector,
70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 2 and DC power to RFU 2 will
be supplied via the RFU POWER OUT connector.

RF OUT Connector The Type “N” RF OUT connector provides
the RF output connection to the antenna or antenna switch. This
connector is a type “N” connector for all configurations of the
ODU.
RF IN Connector The RF IN connector is either a Type “N”,
TNC, or Triax, as applicable to the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. The RF IN connector receives 70 MHz IF
from the IDU for up-conversion to the 2 GHz or 7 GHz bands and
amplification, as required.
