Installation and Operation Set-Up 

 
The MCPA is easy to operate and use, requiring no special cabling since the main 
in/put/output and +27V DC @ 30A, power connections are all blind mated into a 
backplane. The input signals are also distributed to the amplifiers via the sub rack wiring 
from a front RF connector.
