If Cable Installation - Trango Systems TrangoLINK GigaPlus User Manual

For HP-06-yyyy-zz and HP-06-yyyy-zz models, both the antennas and radios use a
rectangular waveguide opening on the same slip-fit design. The standard polarization is
supplied as Vertical. To change the polarization, the antenna must be changed from
vertical to horizontal by rotating either the antenna or the antenna waveguide port.
Consult the antenna installation manual for more information.

IF Cable Installation

GigaPlus can support up to 1000 foot cable runs between the IDU and ODU.
Lightning Mitigation Recommendations – As shown in the grounding diagram, Trango
strongly recommends installing Lightning arrestors at a minimum two points in the IF
Cable routing:
1) At the closest point of the radio possible
2) At the entry point to the building or equipment shelter
3) For optimum protection, Trango recommends installing at every
These connections should be secured to the tower or pole at a point where there all
paint/plating has been removed to ensure a low impedance path to ground. NOTE:
there is no guarantee that use of these arrestors will prevent Lightning damage to the
radio or other electronics, but it is prudent system design to aggressively mitigate the
effects.
Cable Length Recommendations – Trango recommends that the IF Cable be installed
with a 2 ft service loop next to each connector (i.e. below the ODU/ Lightning Arrestor,
next to the IDU, etc.) to allow for replacement terminations in the future.
Cable Connectivity – The IF Cable can be connected to the ODU and IDU with right angle
N adapters (female towards the cable and male to the IDU/ODU) which prevent the
bend radius (minimum 1 inch) from obstructing cabinet doors.
