CEL-FI PRO X Installation Manual Download Page 4

Cel-Fi PRO X may be ordered with or 

without a cable. Any cable may be 

used providing it satisfies the cable 

specifications below.

HELPFUL HINTS:

•  Find the desired location for the Cel-Fi Network Unit and Coverage Unit to determine 

the cable route and length. If you are new to Cel-Fi Pro and Cel-Fi Pro X, visit us at  

www.cel-fi.com

 for more information.

•  Route the cable between the Network and Coverage Units.

•  Coil and secure any unused cable where convenient. Additional or unused cable length 

will not affect system performance, as long as the cable loss specifications are met. 

•  Secure the cable at each end so no tension or movement exists at either cable end-

connector.

•  Using the Cel-Fi PRO Mounting Brackets may help ensure that there is no Cel-Fi Unit 

movement that might damage the cable or connectors.

• 

Finger tighten

 the end connectors to both Cel-Fi PRO X 

connectors using the supplied wrench. Over-torqueing the 

connector could damage the unit. 

If the Network Unit and Coverage Units will 

not link:

•  First, inspect the cable connections to make 

sure they are well seated.

•  Next, make sure there is at least 1 meter of 

separation between either Cel-Fi Unit and 

any other transmitting device (cordless 

handset or base, Wi-Fi router, etc.).

•  Test that the Cel-Fi Units link properly when 

in the same room (without the cable). If they 

will not link please contact 

Nextivity Support 

for assistance at www.cel-fi.com/support.

•  If the Cel-Fi links properly in the test 

above, inspect the Cel-Fi PRO X and cable 

connectors for looseness or damage, and 

inspect the cable for damage. If damaged, 

repair or replace the damaged cable.

Not all coverage bars are displayed:

•  This is normal. When Cel-Fi PRO 

X is used, the number of CU 

bars does not relate to coverage 

potential, which is most likely 

maximized with Cel-Fi PRO X. 

Any other Cel-Fi system problem:

•  See your Cel-Fi Quick Start Guide 

Troubleshooting Section, or contact  

Nextivity Support for assistance at  

www.cel-fi.com/support.

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

•  50 ohm Impedance

•  SMA Male connectors at each end

•  Cable loss should be less than 

40

dB @ 6GHz.
