3.6.2 ACU Cable Connection

There are two types of ACU cable connection. The installer can select the connection
types as BUC capacity. If the modem cannot support BUC power consumption, the
installer will have to use the TX power supply of the ACU or an external power supply.
In a standard configuration, the cabling between the above-deck equipment (antenna
pedestal) and the below-deck equipment (ACU) only requires TX and RX L-band coaxial
cables of a type that will be determined during the installation process (based on the
length of the cable required).
It is strongly recommended to run the cables directly from the antenna to the ACU,
thereby dispensing with the need to go through any IF patch panels to provide the best
signal level for viewing.
It is important to keep these cables the grounded (outer shield of the coax cable)
