Page 7: Proper Cable Layout Design/Fiber Loss Budget
Installing a Distribution ZHC requires the following: 1. Standard Rack Mounting tools 2. Field RF Meter capable of measuring levels and signal quality. (Z-Band can assist with evaluating or procuring the proper equipment). A proper installation cannot be done without out the appropriate meter! Z-Band can be of minimal help in diagnosing issues without a meter on site. -
Page 8: Hardware Installation And Master Unit Set-Up: Coax Backbone
“F” connectors to cable the coax cascade backbone to all units (Reference Following Cascade section). Recommended that you use Z-Band design drawing. 2. Connect the CAT patch cords from the front panel RJ45’s to the proper port in the Patch Panel. -

Z-Band for assistance in reconfiguring the unit. All connections in the fiber links must be either fusion spliced or Angle Polished (APC). All connections on Z-Band furnished equipment has SC/APC. - Page 10 Fiber TX manufacturer’s guide for proper channel load/level set-up. At RF headend adjust signal so that the input to the Z-Band Light Fiber TX is 20+/-2 dBmV for all channels across the spectrum for digital, or is 23 dBmV+/-2 for analog. It is extremely important that the whole spectrum is FLAT (0 slope) for the system to preform properly.

Page 11: Slave Unit(S) Set-Up/Cascade Topology
DISTRIBUTION ZHC Slave Unit(s) Set-up All slave units are cabled the same way using coax RG6 or RG11 for back bone. The following section describes the CASCADE features of the Distribution ZHC. CASCADE TOPOLOGY 1. The Master unit produces a 35 dBmV, 1kHz tone at 870 MHz and injects it into the RF stream coming from the Outbound Coax. - Page 12 DISTRIBUTION ZHC SLAVE SET-UP 1. Perform the same procedure for each closet 2. Make sure that the Master is set-up and functioning correctly. 3. Make sure that Coax from Master or lower level cascade(s) are connected 4. Always start with the lowest level cascade in the closet. Power just that unit. When first powered all 3 LED’s on front Panel come on.
