Simulcast Hardware Installation Connecting Power to the STR 3000 Rack Do NOT daisy-chain multiple equipment cabinet grounds using a single ground wire. Doing so increases the overall inductance of the ground wire which can distribute surge energy among the cabinets instead of to the master ground bar. See Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites (68P81089E50) for detailed information on grounding the rack.
Installing the Expansion Cabinets Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) For a standard installation, the equipment cabinet is located adjacent to the power supply equipment with a cable loop length less than 10.67 m (35 ft.). The “loop length” refers to the combined length of the -48 VDC lead and the DC return lead. For example, a cabinet which needs 4.87 m (16 ft.) of wire between the power supply equipment and equipment cabinets has a total loop length of 9.75 m (32 ft.).

Cabling the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) Cabling the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack The components of the STR 3000 Base Radio rack are shipped as one unit and do not require separate cabling during the initial installation. For more information on how to cable each component within the rack, see Volume 8, Field Replaceable Units and Entities (68P81004Y55).
Simulcast Hardware Installation Connecting the Transmit Cables The DLN1269A base radio controller module can be configured for both 10Base-2 and 10Base-T operation. The site must be all 10Base-2 or all 10Base-T. You cannot mix configurations within a site. Connecting the Transmit Cables Table 5-5 lists the transmit connections from the STR 3000 rack to the system. For more detail on internal cabling, see Volume 8, Field Replaceable Units and Entities (68P81004Y55).
