2-6 Quick Installation Guide
The minimum segment length listed in the tables on
page 2-10 indicates the minimum certified cable length
per cable type. You should never attempt to use
antenna cables with a loss of less than 1.3 dB. For range
calculations involving a different set of parameters
(antenna types, cable losses, antenna aiming offset, and
so on), refer to the Excel-based calculation tool on the
enclosed diskette. Use this spreadsheet to determine
your optimal setup and expected performance or call
your Technical Support center. Refer to
Chapter 3,
Technical Support for information.
Where antennas with narrow elevation beamwidths are
employed, and the remote unit is located at a significant
height difference, the remote unit may not be within the
main beam of the antenna. To avoid this situation,
optimize the antenna tilt for the remote unit.
