4. HARDWARE 

CONNECTIONS 

 

a.  The CT-FSAM550 is designed for installation in a standard 19” EIA rack. 

 

b.  Connect a jumper cable between the

 I.F. Output port

 and the 

I.F. Input port

 if no 

scrambling or EAS system is being used. 

 

c.  Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from the 

video source’s Audio 

Output port to the CT-FSAM550’s Audio Input port.

 

 

d.  Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from the

 video source’s Video 

Output port to the CT-FSAM550’s Video Input port

 

e.  Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from the 

CT-FSAM550’s RF 

Output port to the headend combiner

 

f.  Connect the CT-FSAM550 to an appropriate power source capable of powering this 

device.  Be certain that power source is capable of handling the load if the CT-
FSAM550 and other equipment are being powered by it. The use of a surge protector 
is highly recommended.  Product warranty does not cover surge damages.
