Appendix B. MBT-5000 REDUNDANCY
B.1
Overview
The Comtech EF Data MBT-5000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System can be configured for redundant system operation. This appendix
provides detailed information for cabling and otherwise physically configuring the MBT-5000 for redundant system operation.
B.2
Configuration
Figure B-1 shows the functional schematics for MBT-5000 redundant operation, whether configured for Single or Dual LNA redundancy.
Figure B-2 shows the cabling requirements for redundant operation.
Note that:
•
BNC connections, where applicable, use 50Ω BNC male-to-male cables.
•
It is recommended that all Type 'N' to Type 'SMA' connections are best accomplished by using a Type 'N' male to Type 'SMA' female
adapter, and then using Type 'SMA' female-to-female cables.
