All BS cable connections are made using standard RF coaxial cable. In
various coaxial cables sold in the United States. Note that the RG-6 or RG-11 bundled cable contains 8
antenna element cables and a Calibration ("Cal") cable. Reducing several single cables into one bundled
cable makes installation easier and helps eliminate power loss through the cables.
The bundled cable comes with a weatherized boot and 9 N-type connectors in place. At the other end the
connectors can be N-type if the cables are to be connected to surge protectors in the bus bar (Primary
Surge Protection), or QMA-type connectors if the cables are to be connected directly to the BS
