Powerline MU

∙RG6 Coax cable

∙Coax Splitters (must include 5-30 MHz in range). Number of splits and splitters is determined by the number of cables and locations of coupler installation. If

possible, use bi-directional splitters. A possible source for bi-directional splitters is the Radio Shack® 2-way splitter (Model 15-2587) and the Radio Shack 4-way splitter (Model 15-2588).

∙Rubber Grommets as needed

Procedure

1.Remove the panel of either the termination or distribution cabinets at the desired location.

2.Determine number of couplers needed.

3.Determine the number of bi-directional splitters needed (if feeding multiple cabinets).

4.Remove knock-out or create a small hole in the bottom or side of the cabinet.

5.Install conduit fitting in knock-out.

6.Mount the Gateway in the desired location. Be sure to note the distance between the Gateway location and the location where the couplers will be installed.

7.After determining the length needed, create RG6 coax cable with standard F- Connectors on each end.

8.Attach the F-Connector from one end of the cable to the back of the Gateway as shown in Figure 12.

9.Attach the other F-Connector lead (from coax going to Gateway) to the inbound port on the coax splitter. Attach terminators to any unused ports on the splitter.

10.Feed the coax end of the couplers through the conduit fitting and connect it to the splitter.

11.Open the coupler by gently lifting on the latch on the housing. The housing is hinged on the other side so it remains intact. The core itself will be in half, with one half containing the insulated cable that will induce the RF signal onto the electrical lines.

12.Connect one coupler to each phase in the cabinet, being sure the plastic case latches securely together. Be sure the cable stays inside the core when latching.
