Connecting the System Cables

After installation and fixation of the antenna, connect the ACU to the antenna.
Refer to the drawing below to connect cables.
Antenna RF Cable (Connecting Antenna - ACU)
Intellian provides the Antenna RF Cable (RG-6, 15 m) for connecting
Antenna and ACU. Due to the signal losses across the length of the RF
coax on L-Band, Intellian recommends the following 75 Ω coax cable
types for standard system installations. Check the instructions from the
cable supplier. The table below shows the recommended cable types
and maximum cable lengths for the antenna system. For installing
cables longer than the recommended length, consult with Intellian
Technologies first.
