Notes:
1. The TX cable above has Type N connectors and was used for both TX and RX with the
SDM-300L2 and early revisions of the CiM-300L in conjunction with LNBs that have
Type N Connectors.
2. The SDM-300L3 and later revisions of the CiM-300L modems use a Type N connector
for TX and a Type F connector for RX and use the cables listed above.
3. Equivalent cables/supplies may be used.
4. The DST is manufactured to accommodate a TX attenuation of 20 dB maximum between
the IDU and ODU, and a RX attenuation of 25 dB maximum between the IDU and RX
LNB.
Comtech EF Data recommends the use of a high-performance cable
assembly for the DST . Manufacturer recommends the cable not exceed 300
feet in length. A non-high-performance cable assembly may result in
damage to the IDU, BUC, or LNB.
Prior to connecting the cables, ensure that the ODU and LNB voltages have
been switched off.
