Strand Mounting
1. Loosen the strand clamp bolt and suspend the FFE* from the strand.

2. Leave the bolt sufficiently loose to enable repositioning the FFE* to accommodate
cable length.
3. If necessary to avoid mechanical interference, suspend the FFE* from the strand
using auxiliary hanger brackets. Follow the instructions that accompany the
mounting brackets.
Pedestal Mounting
Remove the strand clamp and use the bolt to mount the FFE* within the pedestal.
CAUTION ARRIS equalizers are designed for an operating environment of -40°C to
+60°C. The Mil Spec Hdbk 217 states that a 9°C increase in device operating
environments will reduce the product’s reliability (and projected lifetime) by 50%.
Therefore, you should take proper care to maximize airflow around the EQ-* and to
minimize ambient temperatures, especially if you will be installing the EQ-* in an
enclosed environment (e.g. pedestal, cabinet, etc.).
