CORNING ONE GX Quick Installation Sheet

1. IMPORTANT! In the event the GX is:
• Modified or altered by any party other than Corning; or
• Subjected to misuse or improper handling or installation;
Corning's product warranty will be void and no longer valid. This includes replacing or removing connectors in
the field during installation.
2. In both indoor and outdoor applications, the GX unit should be mounted vertically with the connectors facing
upwards/downwards.
IMPORTANT! If the GX is mounted horizontally in an indoor application, sufficient cooling must be ensured
(i.e., air conditioning) and a sufficient tethering harness is required.
3. IMPORTANT! OptiTap® adapter pullout force ranges from a few lb to 50+ lb with the dust cap or connector installed.
This prevents damages caused to the DAS unit.
4. For deployments with the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution, the following additional elements
are required (ordered separately):
• Optical central hub (OCH-4-WDM/OCH-8-WDM) – performs the RF-to-optical conversion of the service signal
• ERFCv2-OCH cable – extender cable interfacing to the HEU RIX module and the OCH
• SC-450 unit – system controller required for GX management
5. For GX models supporting the CELL band – an external filter is required (ordered separately) if GX remote is deployed
along with 800 MHz band MA1000/MA2000 units. Filter to be installed before GX mounting.
6. Two people are required for mounting – unit weight: 154 lb (70 kg)
7. Wooden pole mount option accessory kit (AK-GX-QUAD-BRKT-WDPOLE) is available (ordered separately). Instructions
are provided with the kit.
8. Two additional options are available (ordered separately) for performing the GX RF antenna connections:
• Via the GX 4 x 1 External Multiplexer (P/N: AK-GX-ECPL-COMB) – RF antenna connections are performed via the
service specific GX external multiplexer
• Via GX couplers (P/N: AK-3COUPLER-DM-DF) – ensures that users/field engineers can measure and read signals
without interrupting service due to service cable disconnections
This document describes the GX quad-band installation procedure. Note that a detailed description of the GX couplers and
multiplexer are provided with the respective accessory kits.
