B.1

Overview

The Comtech EF Data MBT-5000A L-Band Up/Down Converter System can be configured for redundant system operation. This appendix
provides detailed information for cabling and otherwise physically configuring the MBT-5000A for redundant system operation.

Configuration

Figure B-1 shows the functional schematics for MBT-5000A redundant operation, whether configured for Single or Dual LNA redundancy.
Figure B-2 shows the cabling requirements for redundant operation.
Note that:
• BNC connections, where applicable, use 50Ω BNC male-to-male cables.
•
It is recommended that all Type 'N' to Type 'SMA' connections are best accomplished by using a Type 'N' male to Type 'SMA' female
adapter, and then using Type 'SMA' female-to-female cables.
•
The RF-Switch connector is 2.92 mm SMA. It is recommended to use torque wrench to tighten the connection.
