Routing the cables at the ODU

Route the coaxial transmit and receive cables at the ODU as follows:

1.Route the transmit cable (marked with blue electrical tape) over the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly and behind the reflector to the back of the transmitter, in a configuration similar to that shown in Figure 38.

Do not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the cable manufacturer.

Do not exceed the cable bending radius.

Secure cables with cable ties (not shown).

2.For the transmit cable, leave a 152-inch service loop (12 ft

8 inches), secured to the mast, or Az/El mount assembly. This allows 10 ft for a service loop plus 32 inches for installation of a future Ka-band radio upgrade.

Do not leave the service loop on the roof or other mounting surface.

Do not block access to the adjustment nuts on the canister and Az/El mount assembly.
