Installing the Coaxial Cables
To install the coaxial cables:
1
Loosen the eight bolts that secure the housing lid to the base.
2
Lower the housing lid away from the housing base.
3
For each port, verify that the seizure screw is loosened to accept the center pin of the cable
connector.
4
Screw the connector body into the port and tighten.
5
Secure the cable end into the cable connector as described in the instruction sheet for the
connector.
6
Insert the center conductor fully until it enters the seizure mechanism. Tighten the center
conductor seizure screw and torque to 12 in-lbs (1 ft-lb). Do not overtighten.
7
Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all other cable connections required.
8
Protect all cable connections with heat-shrink tape or tubing.
9
Lash the cables to the strand where they approach it and secure the cable lashing wire to
the strand with commercial clamps.
10
Torque the port plug on any unused ports to 25 to 40 in-lbs.
Installing the Fiber Cables
The SG1000 provides two fiber-optic cable ports located on opposite sides of the housing as
illustrated in Figure 2-2.
To install the fiber-optic cables:
1
Determine which port to use based on the fiber-optic cable routing of your system and
remove the protective plug.
2
Carefully pass the connector ends of the fiber-optic service cable through this port. Do not
remove the rubber caps from the connectors at this time. Insert one connector at a time
being careful not to bend the fiber any more than is necessary.
3
Thread the compression fitting into the port. The compression nut and rubber grommet
must be sufficiently loose to enable the fitting to be turned without turning the fiber cable at
the same time. Torque the main body of the fitting to 60 to 70 in-lbs (5 to 6 ft-lbs).
4
Note which fiber is used for the forward path and which is used for the return path. The
fiber cable contains up to four fibers each jacketed in a different color. You will use two
fibers and two will remain as spares.
