Preparation

When planning the installation locations for the fiber base and remote units, you should take note of the following points:

  • In general, you should install the base and remote units in areas where they can be accessed easily by support technicians. This area should also be out of reach or inaccessible to anyone that does not need to gain access, such as fans at a sporting event or attendees at a conference.
  • Install the fiber base unit close to the receiver to minimize the loss of RF signal strength.
  • Install the antenna close to the downconverter using the shortest cable length as possible to minimize cable loss.
  • Locate the remote unit as close as possible to the downconverter to minimize RF cable loss.
