Ifl Cables - Hughes HX90 Installation Manual

Sheet or installation specification; then locate the installation guide for that model
on your installation support web site.
NOTICE
When you install the antenna assembly, read and follow all safety alerts and
instructions in the antenna installation guide and in the Antenna Site
Preparation and Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001).

IFL cables

Before you can install the satellite router, you must route the coaxial IFL cables
between the indoor satellite router location and the antenna. Then you connect the
router and the antenna by connecting the IFL cable to both components.
The routing path of the IFL cables between the router and the antenna depends on
the building configuration. Guidelines for installing IFL cables are included in the
Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001).
Requirements for cables, connectors, and ground blocks
You must use approved cable types and connectors to connect the router to the
outdoor satellite antenna. For grounding, you must use approved ground blocks and
grounding connectors. For detailed specifications and information on these
components, see the documents listed in Table 3 on page 20.
The coaxial IFL cables and the ground block to which they are connected must meet
the grounding requirements specified in the following warning:
WARNING
You must comply with applicable local codes and the grounding requirements in
Field Service Bulletin (FSB), HNS Broadband Requirements for RG-6 and RG-11
IFL Cable Connectors, Ground Blocks, and Ground Block Location
(FSB_050518_01). Improper grounding can result in electric shock injury,
property damage, and/or poor router performance.
Labeling the IFL cables
Label the receive and transmit IFL cables at the outdoor point-of-entry and at the
indoor location where the satellite router is installed as follows:
• Wrap a piece of red electrical tape around the receive cable, and mark SAT IN on
the tape.
• Wrap a piece of blue electrical tape around the transmit cable, and mark SAT
OUT on the tape.
