The cable signal functions are shown in Table 2-1.

2.2.3

Comtech EFData SSPAs are easily configured for redundant systems by using one of the

optional Redundant Cable Kits. These kits include all the necessary controls, semi-rigid,

and waveguide cabling, and appropriate waveguide/coax switches and terminations.

Figure 2-1 shows the typical 1:1 installation and Table 2-2 shows the associated parts list.

The primary and backup SSPAs shall be installed next to each other in a standard 19-inch

(48 cm) equipment rack. Because of the configuration of the dual WG-Coax Switch, the

upper SSPA will always act as the backup.
