Installation
54-0150 Rev. E
Plan the entire installation before
proceeding! Take into account
antenna unit placement, running
cable distances between units, and
accessibility to the equipment after
installation. Cable lengths are
detailed in Table 2-2.
KVH recommends the use of
RG-6 (75 ohms) cable for RF
wiring. Use of non-RG-6
(75 ohms) cables will result in
degraded performance. The KVH
warranty does not cover degraded
performance due to improper
wiring.
