Materials Required
In order to install the SIRIUS antenna and the Combiner and Splitter, you will
need to purchase several lengths of RG-6 cables to complete your installation.
The length of the cables needed is dependent upon your particular conguration.
RG-6 cable is typically sold in lengths of 10, 25, or 50 ft., with “F” type connec-
tors on each end. These cables may be purchased at your local hardware store,
home center, or electronics retailer.
The cables which must be purchased are depicted in the following illustration as
solid black and are numbered, while existing cables are shown as gray.
